From the Mindanao Examiner blog site (Nov 22): Troops kill NPA rebel Compostela Valley
Philippine soldiers killed an alleged communist insurgent in a clash in the southern province of Compostela Valley, officials said.
Officials said the fighting erupted in the village called Bagong Silang where troops cornered the New People’s Army gunman and shot him.
Troops recovered an old Garand rifle and a homemade bomb from the still unidentified rebel. Officials said there was no report of casualties from the military side.
Officials said local villagers allegedly tipped off the military about presence of the gunman.
The NPA has been fighting for decades for the establishment of a separate state in the country and peace talks in the past have all collapsed.
