MNLF to help pin down suspects in Roxas blast

From the Mindanao Times (Sep 4): MNLF to help pin down suspects in Roxas blast

THE MORO National liberation Front (MNLF) will help in identifying the perpetrators responsible for the explosion at night market in Roxas Avenue on Friday evening that killed at least 14 people and injuring more than 60 others.
 
MNLF Davao City chair Rolando Olamit told TIMES that they are doing all they can to determine who left the IED on the area. He also asked other members of the MNLF to cooperate with the authorities and be vigilant.
 
“In behalf of the MNLF under Professor Nur Misuari and supporters of President Duterte, I asked you to be vigilant and be watchful as Davao City is under attack,” Olamit said.
 
Olamit, however, said that they have no idea who is behind the incident, even if the Abu Sayyaf Group reportedly owned up to the attack.
 
“As of now, we have no idea but it could be the ASG, a political opponent of Duterte (or) drug lords because they have money to do such thing,” Olamit added.
 
ASG spokesperson Abu Rami, as of Saturday morning, has claimed responsibility for the blast and said that the attack is a “call for unity to all mujahideen in the country” among the all-out offensive of the military against the group.
 
But, Rami clarified that the attack is not part of a tactic to distract the government forces that have been pursuing the group in Sulu and Basilan. He also warned that similar attacks should be expected in the coming days.
