AN explosion hit on Thursday a passenger bus while traversing along a busy street in Koronadal City, South Cotabato, wounding at least two people, the military reported.
The victims, both tricycle drivers, were trailing a unit of the Yellow Bus Line with body number 2108 that came from Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat when it was hit by the blast at around 12:20 p.m. The military said investigators were still probing the explosion that hit the rear portion of the bus as well as looking into the possible motive and even suspects.
A unit of the Yellow Bus Line was also bombed in January last year in Tulunan, North Cotabato that killed four people. The motive of the Tulunan bombing, the military said, was terrorism.Both attacks have been attributed to the group of the former emir of the Daulah Islamiyah , Salahudin Hassan. The DI is allied with the Islamic State.
Hassan, also the former leader and founder of the notorious terror Al-Khobar Group, was killed by the military in October last year at Sitio Pinareng, Barangay Damablac, Talayan, Maguindanao.
