PIKIT, North Cotabato -– Police authorities
here have launched massive manhunt against two men who lobbed a hand grenade
Tuesday morning at house in a remote village here that left three persons
injured, a police official today said.
Police Chief Insp. Sindatu Karim, Pikit municipal police
chief, said the grenade attack occurred at 7:20 a.m. in the house of Dawadi
family in Barangay Inug-og, Pikit.
Karim identified the injured as 50-year-old Toks Dawadi, a
volunteer watchman of National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) tower
in Pikit, his daughter Bailanie Usop, a teacher and his one-year-old
grandchild.
Police investigation showed that two men wearing crash
helmets arrived in the house of Dawadi on board a motorbike.
As soon as the suspects saw Dawadi, one of them tossed a
fragmentation grenade and fled on the same motorbike, Karim said.
Neighbors rushed the victims to a hospital in Poblacion
Pikit. They had minor shrapnel injuries.
”We are following up a lead on the identities and location
of attackers,” Karim said in a radio interview.
He said it was not clear if the attack on Dawadi has
something to do with his work as watchman of NGCP towers in Pikit.
He said police investigator are also looking more on a
personal grudge angle as the possible motive of the attack.
