One must also qualify the term "war zone". If we talking about a place where violence "could" erupt, then even New York is a war zone. My idea of a war zone is an area of open conflict.

Authority figures, e.g., policemen, etc. are traditional assasination targets of insurgents. Its how the communists and separatists show that they exist.

Even in the bad days of the 80's, when NPA Sparrow units killed a policeman almost every week in Davao City, the common man still had little to fear.
