From the Philippine Star (Apr 16): (UPDATE)
Soldier killed by leftist rebels in Davao
A soldier was killed by sniper fire from members of the leftist rebel group New
People's Army ( NPA) in southern Philippines on Monday, a military spokesman
confirmed today.
Capt. Nathaniel Morales, spokesman of the Philippine Army's 1003rd Brigade,
said Cpl. Zalde Sario of the 60th Infantry Battalion was hit in the stomach and
died upon arrival at the Tagum City Regional Hospital in Davao del Norte.
Morales said Sario was leading a dialogue with residents of a community in a
chapel in Sta. Fe Village in New Correla town when he was hit by a bullet fired
from an M-14 rifle.
The Philippine Army condemned the NPA attack, saying it is in violation of
the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International
Humanitarian Law which provides that places of worships and religious
institutions must be respected and should not be used in launching attacks.
