February 2, 2002, AFP, Communist insurgents threaten US troops in Philippines,
Saturday 6:14 PM
MANILA, Feb 2 (AFP) -
A communist insurgent spokesman Saturday warned his forces were ready to fight US troops in the Philippines but was evasive on an incident in which a US airforce plane taking part in a military exercise was fired upon.
Gregorio Rosal, spokesman of the communist New People's Army (NPA), said in a statement read over the radio that the communist guerrillas were the next target of US soldiers deployed in the southern Philippines for joint operations against the Abu Sayyaf Muslim kidnapping group.
"The party and the revolutionary movement is not afraid of these actions of the imperialists and militarists. The entire party is determined to crush this and to fight the entry of the US in all its aspects," Rosal said in comments broadcast by the DZBB radio station.
However when questioned about an incident on Thursday when a US MC-130 plane was hit by two bullets while flying over the northern Philippines as part of military exercises, Rosal tried to deflect blame from the NPA which is known to operate in the area.
"It's only the Pentagon which said that a US plane was hit," Rosal said despite confirmation by local authorities that two M-14 bullets struck the American plane.
In a separate interview, Press Secretary Noel Cabrera said they were investigating the shooting, adding that "we're looking at possible suspects and one of those is the NPA."
But he said that at the moment "there is no basis" to conclude that the NPA were behind the shooting incident.
Rosal also denied that communist insurgents were behind the incident on Wednesday when an unidentified person shot dead an American trekker and wounded his German companion as the two were hiking up Pinatubo volcano in the northern Philippines.
Aside from the military exercises in the north, some 600 US troops are due to take part in operations with local soldiers in the south over six months.
This will include joint operations against the Abu Sayyaf in the southern island of Basilan although Manila has stressed that US troops will only observe and advise local troops and will not take part in combat.
Rosal said the communist guerrillas were the next target of the Americans after the Abu Sayyaf, saying that "the US and the (President Gloria) Arroyo government is just looking for an excuse," to bring US troops into this country.
"The true purpose of this entry is to justify a bigger and more dangerous operation of the US. The US will not limit to Basilan and the Abu Sayyaf, their armed intervention," Rosal said.
The NPA, which is scattered around the country, is not active in the areas in the south where the Abu Sayyaf has a presence.
Rosal conceded that the majority of Filipinos supported the entry of the Americans but said this was because they were misinformed by the media.
"The ordinary people think the Americans are helping us. They do not know the Americans are the number one terrorists," he said.
The Abu Sayyaf has links to the al-Qaeda network of Osama bin Laden, mastermind of the September 11 terror attacks in the United States.
They are still holding an American missionary couple and a Filipina nurse in Basilan, the remnants of their last kidnapping spree launched last May.
