Twin bombings hit Philippine city

From the Mindanao Examiner BlogSpot site (Oct 18): Twin bombings hit Philippine city

Two improvised explosives were detonated in Isabela City at dawn Friday, but police was quick to blame failed extortion as behind the twin attacks on two separate areas there.

There were no reports of casualties in the explosions and police failed again to stop the attacks. One witness said he saw a man left the bomb outside the staff house of Cargill Oil Mill and quickly escaped on a pick-up truck driven by his companion.

In the second attack on a nearby village, another witness claimed he spotted a man left the improvised bomb outside a establishment which exploded minutes after the assailant fled. Both explosives were assembled from mortar bombs.

The latest blasts came two days after an improvised bomb also went off inside the residential compound of Engineer Soler Undug, of the Department of Public Works and Highways. No one was killed or hurt in that attack and police blamed the explosion to the Abu Sayyaf.
