Planted IED, other associated items recovered in Sarangani

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 13): Planted IED, other associated items recovered in Sarangani

Troopers from the 73rd Infantry Battalion and 102nd Division Reconnaissance Company, recovered an improvised explosive device (IED) and other associated items while on security patrols in Barangay Lun Padidu, Malapatan town, Sarangani on Saturday morning.

Also recovered were two electric blasting caps, a remote control and a transmitter.

Eastern Mindanao Command public affairs office chief Capt. Alberto Caber said the items were recovered at 5: 30 a.m. after government troopers received reports from concerned residents of the presence of the IED.

The continuous manufacture and use of these IEDs are gross violations of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law, Caber said.
