World aboard USS Sai Pan aids escape amid Liberian conflict
U S Marines flew helicopters to whisk 97 foreign nationals including at least four Americans from a rebel held area near Liberia after fighting around Monrovia. Charles Taylor agreed to talks with Gambia's President Jawara, likely delaying a West African force plan to halt the seven month civil war. Rebels had pushed into Monrovia's eastern suburbs but were repelled by a government counterattack.
