From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 26): Army disarm powerful IED in
Maguindanao
Alert civilians helped prevent a powerful explosion of an improvised bomb when
they immediately alerted soldiers in Maguindanao, the Army said.
Col. Prudencio Asto, chief of public affairs office of the 6th Infantry
"Kampilan" Division, said the IED fashioned from 105 mm mortars with mobile
phone as trigger mechanism was put inside a sack and left unattended at a
roadside in Barangay Macasampen, Guindulungan, Maguindanao.

IED might be related to AFP-BIFM/BIFF fighting in the area in August.
