MANILA, Aug 26 — Two female suicide attackers who carried out a double bombing in the southern Philippines were the widows of militants who had worked for the Islamic State-linked Abu Sayyaf group, the army chief said today. No group has claimed responsibility for the country's deadliest attack this year, but the military had pointed to Abu Sayyaf as the likely culprits.In a text message to reporters, Sobejana said Nanah was the wife of Norman Lasuca, who is considered the Philippines' first homegrown suicide bomber.

Inda Nay was the wife of Talha Jumsah, also known as Abu Talha, who acted as liaison between Abu Sayyaf and the Islamic State group. He was killed in November in a shoot-out with security forces on Jolo.Sobejana has called for martial law to be imposed in Sulu — a chain of islands that has long been a stronghold for Abu Sayyaf — to “bring back normality” and enable the military to control the movement of people.“There will be no martial law,” Lorenzana told AFP late yesterday.
