From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 7): 3 hurt in Iligan City grenade explosion
Three persons were wounded when a grenade exploded in Iligan City, 88 kilometers west of here, around 7 p.m. Wednesday.
A sketchy police report monitored from here identified the wounded as Cheryl Paquet, 22, of Kaugmaran, Suarez, Iligan City, Laureto Carabantes, Jr., and Cristine Macaderos, all of Iligan City.
The three suffered only minor injuries on their arms when the grenade exploded not far from where they were standing, the police said.
An initial police investigation disclosed that an unidentified person, wearing a bonnet, lobbed the grenade in the city’s public plaza near where the victims were standing.
Police said that the Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras mounted around the public plaza could possibly provide the identities of the suspect.
A statement from the office of the City Mayor in Iligan City, said that the police were investigating on the motive behind the explosion.
Joe Pantoja, spokesperson of the office of the City Mayor in Iligan City, said that all activities set for the observance of the Christmas celebration in the city would proceed as scheduled.
He said that the weekly “Night Café” in Iligan City, which is scheduled every Friday and Saturday, would continue unhampered.
The “Night Café” with a semblance of a “night market", was patterned after Cagayan De Oro's where local traders sell various commodities, food, and drinks in the city’s downtown district starting 5 p.m. until 2 a.m.
