Twin explosions hit parts of Jolo, Sulu and Iligan City, Lanao del Norte Tuesday morning, killing seven people and wounding scores more.
Sulu-based military commander Maj. Gen. Juancho Sabban said the Jolo bomb went off while ordnance teams from the police and the military were detonating another bomb on Sanchez Street around 7:50 a.m. He said the improvised explosive was placed inside a motorcycle and was "remotely detonated" possibly by members of the Abu Sayyaf bandit group.
