concrete nails, broken bottle components and 9 volts battery. Traces of
ammonium nitrate, a bomb chemical, was also found.
The blast in Pikit came two a day after an improvised bomb
made of similar materials went off in front of the Army's civil military
operations (CMO) office at the heart of Cotabato City
On Wednesday morning, six land mines were also found by
police and Army authorities in Barangay Maligayan, Columbio, Sultan Kudarat.
The land mines were found in the near a bridge in Barnagay Maligayan which was

Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in Barangay Batulawan were toppled by
improvised bombs that sent North Cotabato and
