Who Bombed Zamboanga City?

The two bomb explosions that took place one after the other and injured 11 people in this city last Sunday were the handiwork of the Abu Sayyaf bandits.

This was disclosed by Criminal Investigation and Detection Group-9 (CIDG-9) director Senior Superintendent Generoso Bonifacio, whose agency was tasked to handle the investigation and the filing of cases.

Bonifacio disclosed that two members of the Abu Sayyaf Group were seen minutes before the explosion at the cockpit arena in Barangay San Roque around 12:25 p.m. Sunday that injured five cockfighting aficionados.

Bonifacio said the person who checked-in at the Red Palm Pension House in Barangay Guiwan where a bomb exploded around 12:30 p.m. Sunday and injured six people is one of the two suspects.

The identities of the two suspects were established through the artist's sketches derived from the description of witnesses which matched with the photos of Abu Sayyaf bandits at the CIDG rouge gallery, Bonifacio disclosed.
