Police this week charged a suspected member of the Abu Sayyaf Group for the twin explosions that rocked an establishment and injured a policeman in Zamboanga City on Nov. 9.
The Zamboanga City Police Office lodged a frustrated murder complaint against Muamar Askalni a.k.a. Abu Rami, an alleged member of the Abu Sayyaf Group.
Police Superintendent Ariel Huesca, commander of the Public Safety Company, also said police in the city will maintain heightened alert.
A policeman was injured in the two blasts at a massage parlor.
Meanwhile, Huesca clarified the Nov. 9 bombing was not related to an incident in Malagutay, where authorities had detonated a backpack containing ammunition, hand and rifle grenades, or a grenade-throwing incident in Barangay Buenavista last Saturday.
He said the backpack containing ammo and explosives in Malagutay was not intended for making improvised explosive devices.
As for the Buenavista incident, he said it could be politically motivated against the barangay chairman or related to the illegal drug trade.
Police have arrested one Mark Anthony Herrera for the grenade attack in Buenavista.
