RP commies vow to let Bush live<\/p>\n
PHILIPPINES: Communist guerrillas pledged on Friday on the eve of
\nPresident George W. Bush's stopover visit to the Philippines that
\nthey will refrain from mounting an assassination attempt on the
\nU.S. leader.<\/p>\n
"If you are asking if we will mount a military action, after
\nthe military and the police warned that an NPA (New People's
\nArmy) team will assassinate George Bush, that is not among our
\nplans today, tomorrow or in the coming days," Communist Party of
\nthe Philippines (CPP) spokesman Gregorio Rosal said over DZBB
\nradio, referring to his party's armed wing.<\/p>\n
Bush is to make an eight-hour state visit to the Philippines
\non Saturday.<\/p>\n
"It is true that George Bush is our enemy, but that step is
\nnot among the protest actions that we are eying," said Rosal.<\/p>\n
The CPP and the 9,000-member NPA has been waging a 34-year
\nMaoist campaign in this former U.S. colony. The U.S. State
\nDepartment considers the CPP-NPA a "foreign terrorist
\norganization".<\/p>\n
Rosal urged Filipinos to join street protests against the
\n"imperialist United States" and its "puppet" Philippines
\nPresident Gloria Arroyo. -- AFP<\/p>",
