From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 10): 6 killed, 4 wounded in drive-by shooting, grenade explosion in Zamboanga Sibugay
The police strongly believed that revenge is the motive behind the killing of six people in a grenade explosion and drive-by shooting that also injured four others in this municipality.
Senior Supt. Romulo Cleve Taboso, provincial police director, on Friday disclosed that the members of the Baraham Ali crime group are out to avenge the arrest of their comrade.
Taboso said the incident that resulted in the death of six people and wounding of four others occurred around 11 p.m. Thursday along the highway in Barangay Cainglet, this municipality.
Taboso identified the fatalities as the following: Emeristo Bastasa; Raymary Tena; Asser Mangan; Delia Pagador; Marisa Bucan; and, a certain Calib-og.
Wounded were: Alex Angoon; Agnes Mangan; her eight-year old daughter, Syra; and, Ryan Dumalag Francisco.
Investigation showed the victims were seated in front of an automobile repair shop when one of two men riding tandem in a motorcycle opened fire as they passed by.
The suspects also tossed a grenade as they fled from the crime scene.
A police vehicle of the nearby Payao town, this province, which was under repair, was also damaged.
The local police strongly believed the suspects are members of the Barahama Ali crime group who were out to avenge the arrest of their companion, Odih Wahab.
Combined police and military operatives arrested Wahab during a law enforcement operation on February 3 at a hotel in Barangay Tirso Babiera, Ipil, this province.
Wahab has standing warrants of arrest for the crimes of robbery, highway robbery and brigandage, and, murder.
He was caught in possession of a caliber .45 pistol with ammunition; fragmentation grenade; blasting caps; detonating cord; three large-size plastic sachets of suspected "shabu"; and prohibited drug paraphernalia.
