Another New People's Army (NPA) arms cache was seized by
units of the Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC) during operations in Kitaotao,
Bukidnon last Aug. 28.
Capt. Alberto Caber, EMC public affairs office chief,
reported on Sunday that the captured rebel weapons consisted of one M-16
automatic rifle, six unexploded improvised explosive devices (IEDs), 60 pieces
of blasting caps, 900 meters of dangerous explosive detonating chord, eight
pieces of IED molders, half a kilo of sulfur powder, one lower receiver of .45
caliber pistol, subversive documents, and NPA flag.
The items were recovered by 8th Infantry Battalion troopers
during security patrols at Barangay White Kulaman, Kitaotao town at around 6
p.m.
It can be recalled that three days ago, NPA elements
attempted to disrupt the law enforcement operations and tried to enter the
barangay when they clashed with security elements of the 8th Infantry Battalion.
