Camp Bancasi, Butuan City – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) deplored the New People’s Army’s (NPA) continued use of landmines that victimized even innocent civilians, according to Fourth Civil Military Operations (4th-CMO) chief Col. Rey Pasco.
“This senseless and diabolical strategy made by the NPA bandits should be stopped and human rights groups must come in now to put an end to this,” Pasco said yesterday.
The 4th-CMO chief said the NPA has continuously victimized innocent civilians, who did not support their cause by using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) on them.
According to him, the use of IEDs “once again exposes NPAs blatant disregard to the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL).”
Pasco cited the recent IED attacks in Bukidnon where a barangay councilor and two Army soldiers were critically wounded.
He said the Army soldiers were conducting security patrol while barangay councilor William P. Ando and some local villagers of White Kulaman in Kitaotao town, Bukidnon were conducting peace and development activity last week when IEDs exploded and wounded them.
