A government soldier was wounded following a roadside explosion in the restive
Officials said 5 more improvised explosives were recovered
by soldiers and policemen in the towns of Datu Odin Sinsuat and Sultan Kudarat.
No individual or group claimed responsibility for the foiled
attacks, but this coincided with police information that the recent bombing in Davao City
was probably the handiwork of the Malaysian militant Jemaah Islamiya and the
local Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters and followers of slain Malaysian
bomber Zulkifli Abdhir alias Marwan.
Several jihadist groups are actively operating in
Maguindanao and its neighboring provinces which authorities said were behind
numerous bombings in the region.
Authorities were also hunting down two brothers – Guiamadel
and Anwar Sandigan – who are known bomb-makers in North
Cotabato province, who escaped a recent raid by soldiers and
policemen in the town called M’lang.
One of the brothers’ henchman, Jokrie Buisan, was arrested
and that the raiders seized a fragmentation grenade and materials used in the
manufacture of improvised explosives, including cell phones, blasting caps and
black powder.
It was not immediately known whether the trio had anything
to do with the bombing in Davao
City that killed 15
people and injured over 60 civilians at a crowded night market there.
