Commie Militant Catches Ricochet To The Face In Botched Philippines Attack
Published 3 years ago
The following footage documents a botched raid attempted by Philippines communist guerrillas of the New People's Army (NPA) against a Japanese-owned banana plantation on Jan. 16, 2012 in Mawab.
Approximately 20 of the insurgents rolled up on a checkpoint manned by four private security guards and all opened fire at close range. Their incompetence is clearly demonstrated as one of the gunmen shoots the steel bar directly in front of him, which sends a ricocheting bullet back into his buddy, killing him.
It appears the driver immediately abandoned the attack truck or was killed, and the rest of the militants are forced to climb out and flee into the jungle after their ammo is depleted. According to the reports, six of the NPA communists died in the attack and several more were wounded. It's not clear how many of the casualties were self-inflicted.
The four security guards never left the fight, and eventually a Philippines infantry battalion arrived to reinforce them. The whole gunfight lasted an hour.
