Three people were killed while the city's vice mayor escaped
unhurt in a roadside bombing in the city on Thursday, the police said.
Supt. Albert Larubis, local police chief, disclosed the
incident took place around 1:10 p.m. Thursday in Barangay Sunrise in the city.
Larubis said initial investigation showed that the bomb
exploded while the two-vehicle convoy of Vice Mayor Abdulbaki Ajibon has passed
by the place.
The bomb exploded just outside the main gate of the compound
of Mayor Cherrylyn Santos-Akbar.
The blast killed two of Ajibon’s staffs who were aboard in
one of the two vehicles in the convoy. The pick-up type vehicle was destroyed.
Larubis identified the third fatality as Gregorio Heneral
Delgado, a bystander while Ajibon’s staffs remained unidentified.
He said the bomb could have been placed in a tricycle, which
was in total wreck, parked along the roadside.
He said the continuing investigation aimed to unmask the
suspects behind the blast.
