Cop dead, civilian wounded as rebels attack Aurora construction firm

From the Philippine Star (Nov 23): Cop dead, civilian wounded as rebels attack Aurora construction firm

One policeman died, while a civilian was injured after leftist rebels attacked today a construction firm in Aurora. Lt. Tala Servidad, spokeswoman of the Army's 7th Infantry Division, said New People's Army rebels went to Villa village in Ma. Aurora town and burned a backhoe and a dump truck owned by A.P. Palacios Construction. The company has been contracted by the government to build a road that will connect Aurora province to Metro Manila. Servidad said the rebels attacked Palacios because the owner refuses to pay the revolutionary tax. She said that soldiers from the Army's 48th Infantry Battalion and local policemen went to Villa village to secure the company. But they were attacked by rebels, who killed a policeman and wounded the civilian in the area.
