From ABS-CBN (Nov 12): Another grenade blast rocks Basilan
A grenade was lobbed at a copra warehouse in Barangay Matatag, Quezon Boulevard in Lamitan City, Basilan on Wednesday evening, the military said.
Reports from the Armed Forces' Western Mindanao Command said the warehouse is owned by businessman Efren New.
No casualties were reported in the explosion.
Authorities are investigating the motive behind the blast.
Lamitan Vice-Mayor Roderick Furigay said the incident could be a diversionary tactic by the Abu Sayyaf Group, which has been reportedly placing improvised explosive devices in different areas in Basilan, as well as Zamboanga City.
He said that the incidents took place at the time the military launched its all-out offensive against the Abu Sayyaf.
On Monday, an explosive was found and disrupted at a gasoline station in Isabela City, Basilan following an explosion in Zamboanga City Sunday evening wherein a K-9 handler was injured.
