HANOI, Vietnam (AP) Shaking
hands with crowds of Vietnamese, a
nostalgic John McCain returned Tues
day to the Hanoi lake where in 1%7 he
was dragged ashore and beaten after
parachuting from his downed warplane.
The hitter war has yielded to recon
ciliation, and the Arizona senator
strolled with his family around the busy
shorefront of the capital’s True Bach
lake, stopping at a sidewalk memorial
marking his rescue.
“I put the Vietnam War behind me
a long time ago, " McCain said upon ar
riving in Vietnam on Tuesday. "I har
bor no anger, no rancor."
People on the street seemed to feel
the same. A crowd of Vietnamese gath
ered around McCain as he walked, greet
ing him as a friend and shaking his hand.
McCain, who spent more than live
years as a prisoner of war here, is noss
a leading proponent of rebuilding re
lations with the impoverished com
munist nation.
Vietnam celebrates the 25th anniver
sary of the end of the war on Sunday, and
the fomier presidential candidate is the
most prominent of the numerous return-

"My job here is to commemorate the
beginning and continuation of a new re
lationship between the United States
and Vietnam." said McCain, who was
instrumental in restoring formal ties
five years ago.
His schedule was filled with war re
minders.
Shortly alter he arrived, McCain at
tended a solemn airport repatriation cer
emony in which an 11-person military
honor-guard placed six small boxes of
remains, believed to be from U.S. ser
vicemen, into silver metal coffins.
About 50 U.S. civilians and military
personnel watched as the containers
were draped with American flags and
carried into the hold of a C-17 cargo
plane heading to iiickarn Air Force
Base in Hawaii for forensic analysis.
The remains were recovered this
year as part of the ongoing American ef
fort to account for more than 2,000 ser
vicemen missing in Indochina, includ

SI MPORNA, Malaysia (AP) Au
thorities hunted the seas between Malaysia
and the Philippines Tuesday tor two fish
ing boats controlled by heavily armed men
holding 21 hostages they abducted from a
Malaysian diving resort two days earlier.
The kidnapping might be tied to Mus
lim rebels in the Philippines who are
seeking the release of militants jailed in
the United States, although some au
thorities said the Abu Sayyaf rebels were
just trying to attract attention.
"Our group is behind the abduction of
the foreigners (in Malay sia) and there are
still a lot of surprises for the government
if they won’t listen to us." Abu Sayyaf
spokesperson Abu Ahmad told Philippine
radio station DXRZ.
