'Reds' torch equipment in ComVal plantation

From ABS-CBN (Jul 30): 'Reds' torch equipment in ComVal plantation

Suspected New People's Army (NPA) rebels torched the boom spray truck of Sumifru Corp. in Compostela, Compostela Valley on Tuesday morning.

Investigators said the truck was scheduled to spray medicine on the banana trees at the plantation in Barangay Siocon when four armed men on board motorcycles forced the truck driver and boom spray operator to go down from the vehicle.

The armed men then set the truck on fire.

The cost of damage from the blaze is estimated at more than P1 million.

Compostela Police are looking into the motives behind the attack, the second such incident in the area since last year.
