Seven troopers from the 10th Scout Ranger Company were
wounded in a grenade attack in Jolo, Sulu early Wednesday morning.
The incident took place 5:21 a.m. at Barangay Walled
City
Major Filemon Tan, Western Mindanao Command spokesperson,
said the victims were conducting a logistic run when a still unidentified
suspect hurled a fragmentation grenade at the soldiers, wounding seven of the
latter.
Logistics run means the soldiers went to the town proper
either for marketing or to get supplies.
Tan did not release the names of the wounded soldiers except
in saying they belong to the 10th Scout Ranger Company of the Army’s 4th Scout
Ranger Battalion based in Bud Datu, Tagbak, Indanan.
“They (the soldiers) opted not to open fire as civilians
might be hit,” he said citing there were many people vicinity of the incident.
He said there is a big possibility that the Abu Sayyaf
brigands were behind the grenade attack.
