The bag was left at the baggage counter of a City Mart department store in downtown Zamboanga. It was the second time that police responded to calls of suspicious packages left at department stores.
On Thursday, police explosives’ experts also disrupted a package thought to contain a bomb at another department store, Shopper’s Central, here. The package, addressed to Al Yamamah Hospital in Saudi Arabia, contained only grocery items.
Early this week, police here detonated improvised explosives made from 81mm mortar bomb planted in the village of Guiwan and Culianan. (Jung Francisco)
