Manila’s police commander says that Communist rebels have drawn up a hit list of civilian, military and police targets in a bid to destabilize President Corazon Aquino’s government through assassinations. Brig. Gen. Alfredo Lim said intelligence reports revealed the existence of the hit list, but he declined to say who was on it.

In the latest incident, a suspected hit squad shot and killed a suburban police chief in the outskirts of Manila.
