Unidentified men fired a rifle grenade that landed inside
the residential compound of Mayor Sahara Upham Ampatuan of Shariff Aguak Friday
night, police said.
Senior Inspector Jonathan De Garcia, Shariff Aguak police
chief, said nobody was hurt in the blast inside the residence of the former
town mayor.
Mayor Upham Ampatuan was not in her home since she no longer
runs the affairs of the local government after she went absence without
official leave (AWOL).
Her vice mayor, Datu Marop Ampatuan, is now the acting
mayor.
De Gracia said the rifle grenade attack occurred around 8:15
while the town was experiencing power outage.
The grenade, fired from a distance, landed in the garage
area of the Ampatuan home.
Her daughter, Shariff Aguak town councilor Bai Anhara
Ampatuan, was inside the house but unharmed.
De Gracia said investigation is still ongoing.
Mayor Sahara Umpham Ampatuan is the wife of former town
Mayor Anwar Ampatuan who is detained in Bicutan along with his father,
Maguindanao ex-Gov. Andal Ampatuan Sr, his brother Andal Jr. and Zaldy, facing
charges on the November 23, 2009 massacre in Ampatuan, Maguindanao that claimed
the lives of 58 people, 32 of them media workers.
Last night's grenade attack was the fourth in seven days.
Three grenade attacks occurred in at least three areas in
Shariff Aguak, the bailiwick of the Ampatuan clan.
