Philippine troops seize explosives' cache of communist rebels
Thursday January 25, 2007

Manila- Philippine troops have seized a huge explosives' and ammunition cache from what was allegedly the biggest weapons' depot of communist rebels in the country's troubled south, an army spokesman said Thursday. Major Ernesto Torres said the soldiers found the depot in a cave in Tagbina town in Surigao del Sur province, 930 kilometres south of Manila, after a brief firefight with guerrillas on Wednesday.

He said the cave was "believed to be the biggest bomb-making and ammunition depot of communist terrorists" in the southern region of Mindanao.

"Troops recovered several bomb-making and ammunition reloading equipment including 42 plastic containers of superdyne dynamite explosives that could produce about 250 pieces of 8-kilogram landmines," he said.

Soldiers also seized 18 claymore mines, assorted assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, ammunition and detonating wires. "Due to thick foliage, about 100 plastic containers of superdyne explosives buried within the vicinity of the cave are still to be dug," Torres said.

Military authorities were hopeful that the capture of the weapons depot would degrade the rebels' ability to launch bomb attacks in Mindanao, which often target soldiers, communication facilities and business establishments that refuse to pay revolutionary taxes. Communist rebels have been fighting the government since the late 1960s, making the movement of the longest-running leftist insurgencies in Asia. They have been tagged as terrorists by foreign governments, such as the United States and the European Union.
