BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya – Nine policemen
narrowly cheated death in a landmine explosion in interior Piat town in Cagayan
on Dec. 16, according to belated reports.
The policemen, who belong to the regional
safety battalion, were on security patrol along the provincial road in remote
Baung village when the blast occurred just near them, said Senior Supt.
Gregorio Lim, Cagayan police director.
A barrage of gunfire from suspected communist
rebels then ensued, forcing the policemen to run for their safety until they
were able to fire back.
The rebels then withdrew toward the
hinterlands.
