    Looks like they survived. One shot in the shoulder the other on the hand, the local driver took the most damage but looks like he survived well.

    The NPA need to be careful with picking their targets. I wouldn't want to be them. I bet their commander is f*cking livid.

    BACOLOD CITY – Two visiting foreigners and a Negrense were wounded in an ambush staged by suspected New People’s Army (NPA) rebels on Tuesday afternoon along the national highway of Sitio Buta, Barangay Caliling, Cauayan town in Negros Occidental.

    Authorities identified the victims as Karl Christer Arvidson, 48, and Juliana Eeiko Palmero,42, both Swedish, and their Filipino driver, Jason Tumayao, of Bacolod City. The incident occurred at about 1:15 p.m.

    Lt. Col. Antonio Tumnog, commanding officer of the 1st Negros Island Geographical Battalion (1NIGB), said he believed that the targets of the suspected NPA rebels were the Cauayan policemen, who responded to a reported robbery incident in the area.

    As I read it in the Inquirer, the police vehicle was overtaking the tourist van.
