From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 16): Military: Abu Sayyaf behind Basilan roadside bomb explosion
The military has blamed the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) as the ones behind the roadside bomb explosion that killed one person and injured another in Basilan province on Sunday.
Col. Thomas Donato, Army’s 104th Infantry Brigade commander, said the incident occurred around 4 p.m. Sunday in Barangay Sabong, Lamitan City, Basilan.
Donato said the improvised bomb fashioned out as a landmine was placed along the side of the Basilan circumferential road.
Killed was Saibi Haddalun and wounded was Haddalun’s mother, Neneng, according to the Lamitan City police.
Donato said the bombing was the handiwork of ASG brigands targeting soldiers passing along the circumferential road but unfortunately civilians were victimized.
He ordered to strengthen the conduct of security patrols to ensure the protection of the residents.
