From InterAksyon (Jul 1): NPA bomber arrested in Compostela Valley
Troopers from the 28th Infantry Battalion foiled a bomb attack following the arrest of a suspected New People's Army (NPA) member as he was about to detonate two improvised explosive devices in Pantukan town, Compostela Valley Monday afternoon.
The suspect, identified as Rito Lucnod, was arrested at Barangay Araibo, Pantukan town at 2:45 p.m., said Eastern Mindanao Command public affairs office chief Capt. Alberto Caber.
Seized from Lucnod were two IEDs, blasting caps, triggering devices, and 100 meters of electric wire.
Appropriate charges are now being prepared against the communist rebel.
Lt. Col Benjamin Daniel Tianco, commander of the 28th Infantry Battalion, said the NPA IED attack was intended to harass residents living in the area.
As of Jan. 1 to June 30, the Eastern Mindanao Command has seized 56 unexploded IEDs.
