Military and police explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams
successfully detonated three Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG)-laid improvised explosive
devices (IEDs) in Indanan, Sulu Sunday morning.
The incident took place at 8:25 a.m. at the vicinity of
Kilometer 3 Road, Indanan, near an abandoned military detachment, said Joint
Task Group Sulu commander Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado.
He said the IEDs were detonated by responding Special Action
Force, Philippine National Police and Philippine Army EOD teams.
No one was hurt in the subsequent explosion.
Arrojado said the ASGs were targeting numerous military
convoys passing along the roadway.
Fortunately, movement of these vehicles were delayed, giving
ample time for the IEDs to be discovered and exploded by government forces.
Arrojado said severe casualties would have been incurred had
these explosives hit civilians or a military convoy.
