PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Dec. 15 (PNA) -–The police have foiled an attempt of the New People’s Army (NPA) rebels to attack the police station in Josefina municipality, this province.

This came about after the policemen managed to detect that the uniformed men who went to their headquarters were not government forces.

The Josefina police reported that the NPA rebels arrived around 6:15 a.m. Saturday and pretended to report and turn over an arrested wanted person.

However, the policemen, sensing danger, have positioned themselves in strategic point and called for reinforcement after the NPA rebels failed to properly introduce themselves as government troops.
