#1 Article: âThe NPA continue to use land mines despite its global ban and sad to say that many civilians are killed by these mines than soldiers,â he said.

There is no global ban on land mines.

#3 Raj, there is if you buy into the Euroweenie and North American MSM meme on land mines. You are correct there is no ban on them. The Philippines are signatories to an "agreement" forswearing their use, which might be the actual fact. The facts never get in the way of a journalist spinning his bull shit however.

I love reading about dead communists just a bit more than I do reading about dead socialists. This news brings joy to my day. Kill more of them please.
