Philippine troops kill 6 communist guerrillas in gun battle
2012-04-23
Philippine army troops have killed six communist guerrillas during a gun battle in the country's mountainous north in the latest outbreak of the 43-year-old Marxist insurgency.

Soldiers patrolling near the village of Bayawel were shot at by about 15 New People's Army guerrillas on Saturday. The soldiers returned fire and there was an hourlong clash. Villagers told the soldiers they saw at least six slain rebels, including a woman, being carried by their comrades.

* TOPIX > CHINA'S UNCLEAR TERRITORIAL CLAIMS RISKS SEA CONFLICTS.

* SAME > NORTH KOREA WARNS OF "SPECIAL ACTIONS" SOON, to wipe out the wily dastardly disrepectful SOKOR Admin of Lee Myeung-Bak.

The issue is TAIWAN + "post-US", World #1 wannabe Rising China's desire for SOVEREIGN, "SOLE" + INTERNATIONALLY "GUARANTEED",
"UNCHALLENGED" AIR-SEA-SPACE = MILPOL STRATEGIC ACCESS INTO WESTPAC + FAR PACOAS.
