Four people, including a two-year-old boy, were hurt after
suspected Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) bandits exploded a "motorcycle bomb"
in Jolo, Sulu Saturday night.
Wounded by the blast were Liking Banagudos, 30, a resident
of Soldier's Village, Barangay Busbus; Harvie Dunggaye, 2, also of the same
area; Felix Codizal, 58, also of Barangay Busbus; and Axis Sacandal, 22, of
Port Area, Barangay
Walled City
Arrojado said that Banagudos, Dunggaye and Sacandal are now
in stable condition at the Sulu
Integrated Provincial
Hospital
Codizal was able to go home earlier as he sustained only
minor injuries in his left foot.
Investigations revealed that two suspicious-looking
unidentified men left the "motorcycle bomb" in front of the Manay
Videoke Bar at 5:30 p.m.
Arrojado said they have information stating that ASG member
Alkam Udiaman of the bandit's Ajang-ajang Group along with Almuktar Suddung and
an unidentified ASG trainee perpetrated the explosion.
"Motive of the incident is retaliatory as well as to
create diversionary tactic by the ASG because of the ongoing FMO (focused
military operations) and LEO (law enforcement operations) of the military and
police," he said.
