A Philippine general and five of his aides were wounded in a rebel ambush about 100 yards from a military headquarters on the southern island of Mindanao, military authorities reported. Brig. Gen. Pedrito de Guzman, 69, was shot several times in the back, legs and arm, officers said. The Philippine News Agency said the general was out of danger after surgery. Guzman was the highest-ranking military officer to be ambushed since Muslim separatists killed Brig. Gen. Teodulfo Bautista in 1977.
