The Eastern Mindanao Command on Thursday reported that its
forces has so far seized and disarmed 58 rebel improvised explosive devices
(IEDs) since Jan. 1 to July 7 this year.
The number includes two IEDs confiscated from captured New
People's Army (NPA) bomb carriers Edwin Sarvida and Dodong Langoy during
operations at Campo Uno, Barangay Andap, New Bataan last July 7, Eastern
Mindanao Command public affairs office chief Capt. Alberto Caber said.
It can be recalled that on April 1, a civilian was killed while
seven others were injured in an IED explosion along the road of Barangay
Mahayag, San Miguel, Surigao
Del Sur.
On April 20, two innocent civilians were wounded as a result
of an IED explosion that was perpetrated by NPA bandits along the national
highway in Sitio Bagong Silang, Barangay San Vicente, Makilala, North Cotabato .
Caber said the rebels' continuous manufacture and use of
these IEDs are gross violations of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect of
Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law.
