MANILA, Philippines — Two persons were hurt after three unidentified motorcycle-riding suspects lobbed a grenade in front of a school in Sultan Kudarat province Wednesday night, Chief Superintendent Agrimero Cruz Jr., spokesman of the Philippine National Police, said on Thursday.

The incident occurred at the gates of Tacurong National Highschool in New Isabela, Tacurong City at around 9:30 p.m.
The victims were rushed to Tamondong Hospital for medical treatment, said Cruz.
MANILA (Xinhua) -- Two members of the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) were killed on Monday in a clash between two groups of MILF rebels in Lambayong town, Sultan Kudarat province.
No other details are available as of posting time.
Col. Leo Ferrer, commander of the Army's 601st Brigade, said Tuesday that a long-standing land dispute triggered the fighting between members of the MILF's 106th and 108th Base Command.
The gunfight lasted for four hours. Sampulna Baumol, commander of the 108th Base Command and one of his men were killed during the clash.
"Sampulna and one of his men were reportedly killed and were immediately buried," Ferrer said.
Ferrer said the military did not intervene in the fighting between the two feuding MILF groups because the problem was internal to the MILF, which is negotiating with the government for a peace accord for the past 14 years.
He said the military asked the government's Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities to inform their MILF counterpart "to pacify the warring parties."
