Army foils bombing in Cotabato

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer (May 28): Army foils bombing in Cotabato

An Army’s explosive ordnance team foiled a bombing attempt on Tuesday night by still unknown suspects in Cotabato.

“An Army EOD Team successfully recovered an IED (improvised explosive device) made out of 60mm projectile near a videoke bar on Makapindig Extension St. in Poblacion, Pikit town, North Cotabato about 9:45 p.m.,” a military report said.

At about 8 p.m. a concerned citizen informed Pikit police station about a suspected IED that he spotted near a videoke bar owned by a certain Rene Labanun.

The responders, led by a Sergeant Regori, also recovered a cellphone that served as a triggering device. No one was hurt from the incident.

Last May 12, two explosions rocked nearby Batulawan village also in Pikit town. No one was injured.
