I. PHILIPPINES! ANOTHER ATTACK ON US PERSONNEL fJRBftV
THO US AIR FORCE ENLISTED IN CIVILIANMURDERED LAST NIGHT AS THEY STEPPED FROM THEIR HOTEL NEAR CLARK AIR BASE. BOTH HERE SHOT IN THE FACE WITH A CALIBER PISTOL. HIRD SOLDIER ESCAPED UNHURT. THE US EMBASSY IN MANILA HAS ASKED US CITIZENS TO LIMIT THEIR MOVEMENTS. US SERVICEMEN HAVE BEEN RESTRICTED TO QUARTERS. V
COMMENT I ALTHOUGH NO GROUP HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY. THE COHMUNIST NEW PEOPLE'S ARMY (NPA) HAD PLEDGED TO DISRUPT THE BASES NEGOTIATIONS EXPLORATORY TALKS BEGINNING TODAY AND ALMOST CERTAINLY CARRIED OUT THE ATTACKS. FURTHER IHC1DENTS ARE LIKELY..THE COMMUNISTS HOULD PREFER TO ASSASSINATE HIGH-RANKING US DIPLOMATIC AND MILITARY PERSONNEL BUT HAVE BE EH FRUSTRATED BY TOUGH SECURITY. THEV ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON EASIER TARGETS* SUCH AS ENLISTED MEN. ILL-DISCIPLINED NPA PRESSURE FROMFFICIALS IO CARRY OUTCHOOSE TO KILL PRIVATE US
