Duterte offers bounty for 'head' of lead killer of 4 police.
MANILA, Philippines — Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte offered a bounty to anybody who can deliver to him the head of the communist rebel leader behind the killings of four police intelligence officers last week in an insurgency-hit central province.
Police reported that communist rebels opened fire on the four policemen, who were traveling on two motorcycles, in an ambush then took their pistols in the coastal town of Ayungon. The New People's Army guerrillas, they said, later withdrew to a forested hinterland after the attack. "They were burned like ISIS, that's why I got mad," Duterte said in a speech, using the acronym of the Islamic State group.
