Power pylons toppled in RP

ILIGAN, Philippines (AFP): Unknown attackers toppled three
power pylons and several electrical posts in Lanao del Sur
province, affecting power supplies in much of the southern island
of Mindanao, power officials said yesterday.

The steel pylons were blasted while the wooden posts were cut
down in different parts of the province before dawn Saturday,
said Basilio Iglupas of the state-owned National Power
Corporation (NPC).

He said the toppled pylons were in a forested, mountainous
part of the province that is a hideout of Moslem guerrillas. The
military confirmed the report but could not say who was behind
the incidents.
