A soldier and a militiaman from the 1001st Infantry Brigade
were killed along with an innocent civilian while 14 other troopers were
wounded in a New People's Army (NPA) landmine attack in Mabini, Compostela Valley
Capt. Joy Benedict Corpuz, 1001st IB spokesman, said the
government security troops had just finished conducting "peace and
development outreach" programs when the rebels detonated their mine,
killing a soldier, a militiaman and a civilian bystander and wounding 14
troopers at Kilometer 11, Barangay Cabuyoan, Mabini town.
Corpuz condemned the NPAs for their blatant use of landmines
regardless of civilian and military casualties.
"This act of the NPAs is a clear violation of the
provisions of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Respect for Human Rights and
International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL) where the CPP-NPA-NDF is a signatory.
This is also a violation of the UN Convention against the use of landmines.
These evil acts reflect the true nature of the CPP-NPA-NDF," Corpuz said.
