MANILA, June 27, 2010, SPA -- Philippine troops killed at least two communist guerrillas Sunday in the country's south and captured a rebel camp containing bunkers, bombs and assault rifles, the military said. Army troops searching for two abducted soldiers discovered a key New People's Army camp near Cateel town in Davao Oriental province. The troops clashed with about 50 guerrillas, killing two rebels, army spokesman Capt. Emmanuel Garcia was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. At least six wounded rebels were seen by troops being dragged away by the guerrillas, who withdrew in small groups, army battalion commander Lt. Col. Gilbert Saret said. Troops found four homemade bombs and six assault rifles in the camp, which had 40 wooden bunkers that could accommodate up to 100 rebels, Saret said. --SPA 12:00 LOCAL TIME 09:00 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/796493
