CPP/Ang Bayan: 2 cops wounded in NPA raid in South Cotabato

From the English edition of Ang Bayan, the official news (propaganda) organ of the CPP (Apr 7): 2 cops wounded in NPA raid in South Cotabato

Two policemen were wounded when Red fighters from Mindanao’s Guerrilla Front 73 attacked the Philippine National Police Station in Barangay Sinolon, T’boli, South Cotabato on March 20.

The raid belied boastful claims by the 27th IB and 1002nd Brigade that the revolutionary movement has been wiped out in the province. The people’s guerrillas were able to seize a cal .45 pistol and other military equipment in the raid.

The Red fighters staged a surprise raid on the station while combat operations of the 1002nd Brigade’s so-called Task Force 73 continued to ravage the provinces of South Cotabato, Sarangani and Sultan Kudarat.

Meanwhile, the New People’s Army in Compostela Valley released prisoner of war PO3 Ruben Nojapa Jr. on April 2 in Mawab town.

Nojapa was ordered released by the National Democratic Front-Southern Mindanao on humanitarian grounds, and despite the AFP’s refusal to declare a ceasefire to pave the way for an orderly turnover.
