                    [Summary] => 



Members of the New People’s Army (NPA) have taken hostage some 50 civilians, whom they rounded up in a checkpoint in Agusan del Sur yesterday morning.


Chief Superintendent Geary Barias, director of the CARAGA Region, claimed to have received information about the hostage taking but could not immediately carry out rescue operations for fear that the rebels might use the hostages as bait in attacking government troops.

Barias also noted the possibility that land mines were planted in the areas and might be exploded when government troops pass through.
