COTABATO CITY (Mindanao Examiner / May 28, 2012) – Three people were injured in a grenade explosion on Monday at a hospital in Cotabato City in the southern Philippines, authorities said.
It said the explosion occurred just after midnight outside Room A27 in the second floor of the Notre Dame Hospital where a shooting victim Badrudin Sarudsong is recuperating from his wounds.
Police arrested one person Ismael Yusoph, who was allegedly the owner of the grenade. Yusoph was one of the watchers guarding Sarudsong, but it was unclear how he was able to sneak the grenade inside the hospital.
It was not immediately known whether Yusoph was toying with the grenade when it exploded. Sarudsong was shot on Friday in Cotabato City by an unidentified gunman. (Mindanao Examiner)
