Basilan explosion kills 1, injures 4 others

Chief Editor March 7, 2016

ISABELA CITY – A homemade bomb explosion killed a boy and injured four other family members in Basilan, one of five provinces under the restive Muslim autonomous region, police said Monday.

Police said the explosion occurred before dawn Sunday in the house owned by the Jimmy family on the island of Malamawi, just several nautical miles from Isabela City. Among the injured was the boy’s father and three of his children.

Initial investigation showed that an unidentified man lobbed the improvised explosive in the house. He escaped with another man, who acted as a lookout.

Police were still investigating the attack believed to have stemmed from a family feud.

Family feud or clan war is not uncommon in the Muslim region that also covers the provinces of Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Tawi-Tawi and Sulu. Many of the feuds were traced to land conflict and politics. (Mindanao Examiner)
