ZAMBOANGA CITY (Mindanao Examiner / 13 Mar) – Police tightened security in Zamboanga City in southern Philippines following two separate grenade attacks.
Police said there were no casualties in the explosions that occurred in the coastal villages of Mampang and Arena Blanco.
The explosion in Mampang before dawn Tuesday damaged the house of a former government soldier. “I don’t know who was behind the attack. We are requesting our policemen to patrol our village more often,” the soldier said.
A similar explosion was earlier reported near a warehouse in the village of Arena Blanco.
Police have put up random checkpoints in Zamboanga City, which have been previously bombed by the militant Abu Sayyaf group. It was unknown whether the two explosions were connected or not. (Mindanao Examiner)
