Government troops take cover behind two armored personnel carriers as they begin their assault into the Peninsula Hotel, Thursday, Nov. 29, 2007, in the financial district of Makati just south of Manila, Philippines. Philippine troops and SWAT teams stormed the five-star hotel that dissident military officers commandeered after walking out of their coup trial and demanding that President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo resign.
