From InterAksyon (Nov 14): NPA rebel killed in Mindanao encounter with Scout Rangers

A New People's Army (NPA) rebel was killed and several others wounded following an encounter at the boundary of Magsaysay, Davao del Sur and Tulunan, North Cotabato Tuesday afternoon, the Philippine Army's 6th Infantry Division said. Col. Prudencio Asto, 6th ID spokesman, said troops from the 6th Scout Ranger Company, 2nd Scout Ranger Battalion, were scouring the hinterlands following a complaint by local residents of supposed NPA threats and extortion when they clashed with an undetermined number of rebels. Asto did not name the slain rebel but he said a certain Reynante Soliman Dalon, an alleged NPA rebel, was wounded in the clash and airlifted by the military to the Camp Siongco Station Hospital in Maguindanao. Several other rebels were reportedly wounded, Asto said. Government troops also recovered two high-powered firearms at the encounter site. There were no reported casualties on the side of the military.
