Communist guerrillas attacked a convoy of air force engineers who had been building schools on a central Philippine island, sparking a clash that killed an airman and wounded 12 others, the military said yesterday.
The military condemned the New People's Army attack on Masbate island, saying the engineers were noncombatants involved in a humanitarian mission to facilitate children's education in the far-flung region.
Manila called the attackers "terrorists," who had violated an accepted norm not to assault those engaged in lifesaving or development work
