No Western Command (WESCOM) assets took part in a shooting
incident involving Filipinos and Vietnamese fishermen off the Spratly Islands
last Nov. 26, WESCOM head Vice Admiral Alexander Lopez said Wednesday.
"No info yet on the incident. (and) No WESCOM assets
are involved," Lopez said.
The shooting resulted in the death of one Vietnamese
fisherman identified as Truong

Reportedly, a Filipino fishing boat with eight crewmen armed
with three guns, boarded the Vietnamese vessel and shot dead the victim for
still unknown reasons.

identify Filipino fishermen as the perpetrators.
