Two people were lucky enough to escape unscathed in a
roadside bombing perpetrated by the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) brigands in the
island province
of Sulu
Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado, Joint Task Group Sulu commander,
said the incident occurred around 2:50 p.m. Tuesday along the road known to
locals as Dan Puti in Sitio Halaw, Barangay Latih, Patikul.
Arrojado identified the would-be victims as Mandi Ammang,
42, and Wahab Amisali, 43, both residents of Sitio Halaw, Barangay Latih.
Arrojado said investigation showed the duo accidentally
stepped on a trip-wire that triggered the explosion of three improvised bomb
fashioned as landmines.
Arrojado said luckily “both persons were unharmed during the
incident.”
He said policemen and Marine explosive ordnance demolition
(EOD) proceeded to the blast site to conduct post-blast investigation.
He said the area, after thoroughly inspected, was later
declared clear to pass.
He said the main target of the ASG brigands in laying the
improvised bomb are the government troops passing Daan Puti especially during
early morning jogging.
He said the troops had been alerted to exercise
precautionary measures.
Arrojado said they have received report that the ASG
brigands led by Nammil Ahadjiri were the ones who placed the bomb along Daan
Puti, Sitio Halaw, Barangay Latih.
