Two explosions in Lanao del Norte

From Malaya Business Insight (Feb 6, 2019): Two explosions in Lanao del Norte

TWO explosions rocked Lanao del Norte yesterday, eve of the plebiscite on the Bangsamoro Organic Law.

No one was reported killed or injured in the blasts.

One occurred at the back of Kauswagan town hall at around 4:50 p.m., said Col. Alex Aduca, spokesman of the Task Force Plebisito of the Army’s 3n2 Mechanized Brigade.

Aduco said the improvised explosive device (IED), placed in a bag, was left under a dump truck.

Aduco said the second IED explosion occurred around 4:35 p.m. in front of a gas station in Barangay Maranding in Lala town.

“We’re still confirming who is behind these,” said Aduco.

Asked if the blasts were related to the BOL plebiscite, Aduco said: “That’s one of the angles were looking into – peace spoilers who want to sow fear.”

Aduco expressed confidence no further bombings will occur “because we already intensified our checkpoint operations and our patrols.”
