From the Manila Bulletin (Apr 17): ASG extortionists lob grenade at DPWH bodega

Suspected members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), believed to be involved in extortion, lobbed and exploded a hand grenade at the warehouse of the Department of Public Works and Highways in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, (DPWH-ARMM) in Isabela City Monday night.

DPWH-ARMM District Engineer Soler Undug said unidentified persons threw the grenade which exploded on the roof of the DPWH-ARMM warehouse located in Purok 4, Barangay Aguada in Isabela City.

Undug said the incident happened at around 7:30 pm, Saturday. No one was reported injured as a result of the incident.

Police and military authorities, who rushed to the explosion site, recovered the safety lever pin and fragmentation parts of MK2 type grenade.

The police said the roof of the warehouse sustained minor damage as a result of the explosion.

Early this year, suspected ASG detonated an Improvise Explosive Device (IED) outside the residence of Undug.

The IED exploded on the perimeter fence of Undug’s residence located on Calle Bisaya in Isabela City.

Authorities also found an IED planted at the fence of the residence of DPWH-ARMM Basilan assistant district engineer Salonga ‘Bong’ Lasatan, located at the village of Aguada, which was few meters away from the residence of Undug.
