A grenade exploded in General Santos yesterday. ANC TV was reporting that the army blamed the Moro Islamic Liberation Front but that organization denied responsibility and condemned the act of killing innocent civilians.
Terrorism in Mindanao continues to be attributed to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front as two new bombing incidence are discovered. This time it was in Northern Mindanao. It was close to Cagayan de Oro (CDO) a city that I’m often told is safe from terrorism in the Philippines.
The first bomb exploded a few hours after Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo visited the city. Three people have died due to the blast. The other bomb was discovered and defused before it was detonated. Two young men, ages 20 and 22 were killed in the blast as they worked for the market where the improvised explosive device (IED) was detonated.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Foundation is claiming it shot down a American drone usually used as a reconnaissance tool but they can also deliver missiles and other offensive weapons of war. The planes can be launched from Washington or any place in the world and flown by remote control. Militants used automatic rifles to shoot them down.
