Philippines troops die in ambush

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At

least nine soldiers have been killed and 20 wounded in a rebel ambush in the Philippines, the army has announced.

Their truck was hit by a crude land mine late on Saturday as they were returning to base near Calinog

town.

The left-wing rebels then sprayed the survivors with gunfire,

leading to a one-hour shootout before the attackers retreated, an army

spokesman said.

In a separate attack several

hours later, a policeman was killed and three were wounded in Quezon

province.

The army blamed both attacks on the Maoist New People's Army (NPA),

which has been fighting the central government since the 1960s.

Soldiers are chasing the rebels who carried out the Calinog

ambush, the army said.
