Quezon city where identified to be Eleuterio
Agmaliw, Fredde Daileg and Lucio Carbonel, Año claimed were part
of the hassaination team deployed by the CPP-NPA to kill the President and
other high ranking officials.
“These NPA leaders are part of the special teams directed by the
CPP leadership to assassinate senior government officials that include the
President. But we got to them first and we will not stop until every one of
them is arrested and brought before the bar of justice,” Año said in a
statement.

Government officials said Agmaliw and Daileg were high-ranking
NPA leaders.
Slain during a shootout, the 3 were about to be arrested by the
Quezon City policeman under the arrest warrant following charges of destructive
arson, murder, frustrated murder and rebellion.
Año warned communist
rebels have no place to hide.
“As I promised, we will
get you first even before you get near us. There is no safe place for you
in Metro Manila and in any urban center around the country. If I were you,
I better give up before it’s too late,” he said.
