Military bomb disposal experts on Thursday safely disarmed a
bomb found at the public bus terminal in Barangay Poblacion, Shariff Aguak,
Maguindanao.
A report from the military’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal
(EOD) unit said the bomb was rigged from a 61-mm mortar explosive that was
placed inside a black bag and left at the passengers’ lounge of the terminal.
Alert bus terminal personnel reported to authorities on the
discovery of the bomb around 2:15 p.m, which prompted the EOD team to rush to
the scene and safely cordoned the area from the public.
Aside from the mortar explosive, also recovered from the bag
were an MK2 hand grenade, a blasting cap, detonating cord, and a nine-volt
battery.
Authorities are still verifying reports that a young boy
earlier dropped off the bag containing the bomb at the terminal.
