But there were no signs that authorities are nearing in putting an end to the atrocities committed by the Al-Khobar gang, blamed for the September 1 bombing of a commuter bus in Digos City in Davao del Sur province that killed and wounded dozens of people.
Senior Supt. Cesario Darantinao, the provincial police chief, said a woman was believed behind the attack on the bus owned by Davao Metro Shuttle. It was the second commuter bus bombed in the past three months.
“Like in the first bombing incident, we believe the extortion group Al-Khobar is behind this blast,” he said.
The bombing occurred at a bus depot and Metro Shuttle bus owner Mayor Rey Uy, of Tagum City, blamed extortionists as behind the attack.
The Al-Khobar gang is composed mostly of Filipino terrorists and some of them were former Moro Islamic Liberation Front rebels trained by the Indonesian militant Jemaah Islamiya. (Romy Bwaga)
