| 2012-02-26 |
| The Philippine army says two communist rebels and two children were killed in a clash between troops and the rebels in the northeast. Lt. Col. Epimaco Macasilang says he deployed a platoon of soldiers to check reports of the presence of New People's Army guerrillas Saturday in a remote village in Camarines Norte province. He said that about 15 rebels opened fire from a hut and a nearby hill as the soldiers approached, leading to an exchange of gunfire. Maj. Angelo Guzman said that after the guerrillas withdrew, soldiers found the bodies of two rebels and two brothers, aged 10 and 7, in the hut. An investigation is under way to determine who may have shot the boys, thought to be children of one of the guerrillas. |
