Let E be an ample vector bundle of rank n-2 greater than or equal to 2
on a complex projective manifold X of dimension n having a section wh
ose zero locus is a smooth surface Z. Pairs (X, E) as above are classi
fied under the assumption that Z is a P-1-bundle over a smooth curve.
We also prove that kappa(X)=-infinity if Z is a birationally ruled sur
face.
