COTABATO CITY - An improvised bomb was set off by still unidentified men in front of a civil military office of the 6th Infantry Division here Tuesday night.
Nobody was hurt in the 7:30 p.m. blast few meters away from the CMO office at PC Hill, Cotabato City, according to Senior Supt. Rolen Balquin, Cotabato City police director.
Responding Army and police bomb experts recovered one ounce of C4 bomb component, 9 volts battery and fragmented circuit.
Balquin said the blast was light and it appeared the motive was to sow fear among the residents and passersby.
Police could not say as of yet who was behind the explosion and whether or not it was related to the ongoing military action in Maguindanao.
Balquin has appealed to the city residents to remain vigilant because peace saboteurs could strike anytime or simply sow terror among the residents.
