From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 28): Gov't security teams disarm IED hurled in parked police vehicle in Sulu

Government security troops have successfully disarmed an improvised explosive device (IED) hurled by motorcycle-riding men at the back of parked police patrol vehicle in Jolo, Sulu Wednesday night.

Joint Task Group Sulu commander Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado, in a message to the PNA, said the incident took place at 7: 20 p.m.

He added concerned residents in Barangay San Raymundo, Jolo town reported seeing two men aboard a "skeletonized Wave 125 motorcycle" throwing an IED at the back of a parked police patrol vehicle in 6 Kasalamatan Village before speeding towards the direction of Barangay Latih, Patikul.

Arrojado said a combined police and military explosive ordnance disposal team quickly cordoned the area and defused the IED at 10:05 p.m.

Investigations are now underway to determine the identities and motives of the suspected bombers.
