Three people were injured after a suspected improvised explosive device (IED) went off at the Weena Bus terminal in Cotabato City Monday evening.
The bomb was placed near the gate of the bus terminal at Jose Lim Street in Cotabato City at around 7 p.m. Monday.
Security guard Leopoldo Cabanyog, a tricycle driver identified only as "Ismael", and Weena bus driver Nestor Bayog were injured by the explosion. Most of them suffered feet injuries.
Initial reports said an aircon bus arriving from Davao City was entering the terminal when the explosive went off.
The Army's 6th Explosive Ordnace Disposal unit Commanding Officer Capt. Ramon Torres said initial findings point to an IED consisting of bomb chemical, TNT, placed inside a container, with a cellular phone used as triggering device.
Based on recovered pieces of evidence, investigators said these materials were similar to the bomb used at the April 26 Weena Bus bombing in Midsayap, North Cotabato.
