The M'lang public market bombing on Wednesday claimed the
life of another victim who died before dawn on New Year's Day at a government
hospital in Kidapawan
City
Zenaida Suelo, 41, of Barangay Malayan, this town, succumbed
to shrapnel injuries in various parts of her body.
Thirty-three other blast victims remain in different
hospitals in M'lang and Kidapawan
City
Mayor Joselito Pinol said investigation is still ongoing and
police authorities remain clueless on the identities of the suspects.
Supt. Danilo Peralta, North Cotabato
police director, said the clear motive was simply to kill and maim people in
the midst of preparations for the New Year.
He said investigators are also looking at the possible
connection between the arrest of a man believed to have been involved in the
Nov. 23 bombing that left three dead and 22 others wounded at a billiard hall
near the town plaza and last Wednesday's bombing.
Police agents arrested Abdul Aziz Glang of Derecho
Subdivision, Poblacion A, M'lang, North Cotabato
following a buy-bust operation.
Army and bomb experts continue to scour the blast site to
determine the composition of the explosive.
Reynaldo Suenas, a market vendor and one of those who rushed
the wounded to the hospital, said many of those he carried to the vehicle were
wounded with folded nails.
"In fact, some of the wounds I saw formed a letter 'u'
indicating the shrapnel s were made of nails," he said in the vernacular.
Mayor Pinol urged the residents to remain vigilant, saying
the town is again put to a test.
He also called on village officials to help the police
identify the bombing suspects to give justice to the victims.
