Colonel Alex Aduca, commander of the Joint Task Force Plebisito said,, a still unidentified person aboard a hauler truck lobbed the improvised explosive device (IED) in Maranding, but the perpetrators remain unidentified.
The bomb which exploded in Kauswagan, according to Aduca, was wrapped in plastic bag and place near a dump truck.
In an interview with reporters, Aduca revealed “Hindi kasi ma-tao ang mga lugar na yun. Pinapa-check na natin ang mga areas kung may CCTV that would help in the investigation.”
The military and the police heightened the alert level and checkpoints were ordered to verify every bags or pack passing their area.
