At least 1 suspect in Zambo City blast undergoing interrogation

From GMA News (Jan 24): At least 1 suspect in Zambo City blast undergoing interrogation

At least one person linked to Friday's deadly blast near a bus terminal in Zamboanga City is undergoing interrogation by the local police.

But the Zamboanga City Police Office has not identified the person being held, GMA News stringer Jayvee Francisco reported on GMA News TV's "Balitanghali Weekend."

Francisco also reported the city police's bomb squad confirmed a car bomb was used in Friday's blast, but they are still determining the type of explosives involved.

The report added city mayor Isabelle Climaco-Salazar believes the Abu Sayyaf may have been behind Friday's attack, as many of their colleagues are in the city jail.

Authorities earlier said at least two people were killed while 52 were wounded.

One was Dennis Valente, a tricycle driver passing by the area when the explosion occurred.

State-run Philippines News Agency said the other fatality was identified as Reynaldo Tan.
