Units from Joint Task Group Basilan have successfully
intercepted a suspicious-looking vehicle carrying three improvised explosive
devices (IEDs) during checkpoint operations at Barangay Suyak, Ungkaya Pukan
town Friday morning.
1st Lt. Sally Magno, Joint Task Group Basilan public affairs
office chief, said this took place at 5 a.m.
She added that troopers from the 18th Infantry Battalion
were conducting checkpoint in the said area when they spotted a red multi-cab.
And when they tried to flag down its driver, the latter
immediately scampered towards the direction of Barangay Baquindan, Tipo-Tipo
town, leaving behind the vehicle.
Subsequent search revealed that the multi-cab was carrying
three LPG tanks which further examination revealed to be powerful IEDs.
Investigations are still ongoing to determine the identity
of the escaped driver and his possible targets.
