CPP/Ang Bayan: NPA disarms retired PNP colonel

From the English language edition of the CPP propaganda publication Ang Bayan (Jul 21): NPA disarms retired PNP colonel

The Western Agusan Norte-Agusan Sur (WANAS) Subregional Command of the New People’s Army seized a cal .45 pistol, ten rifle grenades, ammunition for an AK47, an ammunition link for an M60 machine gun and a box of TNT powder for making explosives in a raid on the house of a retired colonel of the Philippine National Police in Barangay San Vicente, Butuan City on the morning of June 26.

The target, ex-Col. Leon Viajar, has several cases pending before the people’s court, among them leading a bandit group and raping three housemaids. Two of them remain missing to date. Viajar is also a notorious drug lord whose operations extend beyond Butuan City. He currently works at the National Bureau of Investigation.
