The Philippine government on Wednesday “strongly condemned” roadside bombings by communist rebels that killed two civilians and injured five others during the weekend.
A spokesman for the insurgents later apologized to the family of the civilians who died in one of the blasts, saying they were not the intended targets and that the group had a policy of not attacking civilians.
In the first attack, communist New People’s Army (NPA) guerrillas detonated an anti-personnel mine along a road in a remote village in Masbate, a province in the central Philippines, as a group of bicyclists passed by on Sunday, police said.
