The police believed that the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) are the
ones responsible in late Thursday’s bombing that killed one person and injured
10 others in this city.
The bomb exploded around 9:47 p.m. Thursday inside a KTV bar
and massage parlor at the junction of M.
Calixto Street San Jose Road
Senior Supt. Angelito Casimiro, disclosed the ASG has
threatened to stage attacks against government forces who are on rest and
recreation in this city.
Casimiro said the attacks are in retaliation to the
continuous law enforcement operations against the ASG in the province of Sulu
He said the possible targets of the ASG are gathering places
such as night spots, massage parlors and others.
Casimiro said they have already forewarned the owners of
night establishments and other gathering places to strengthen security
measures.
He disclosed that initial finding of the explosive and
ordnance demolition (EOD) showed the improvised bomb that exploded was ammonium
nitrate fuel oil (ANFO)
He said the bomb scare on Wednesday at a food court appeared
to be a test on the response time of the security forces.
The authorities have closed the road leading to the food
court at the Puericulture
Center
The content of the baggage, which was left by a customer,
turned out to be clothes.
