Communist
rebels on Monday ambushed a military truck in the southern Philippines
Army
Captain Alberto Caber, of the Eastern Mindanao Command, said New People Army
rebels detonated a landmine as the truck was passing the village
of Caridad in North
Cotabato ’s Tulunan town.
“The troops
were transporting salaries of government militias when the attack occurred. We
condemned this attack and the continued use of landmines by NPA rebels which is
illegal and banned around the world,” Caber told the regional newspaper
Mindanao Examiner.
He said
Lieutenant General Ricardo Rainier Cruz III, the regional military chief, has
ordered troops to pursue the attackers.
The NPA did
not give any statement about the latest attack, but it previously warned the
government of fresh offensives in the southern region.
The rebels
are fighting for a separate communist state in the country.
