GENERAL SANTOS CITY, April 12 (PNA) - Authorities are looking at business rivalry as a possible motive in the latest bomb attack against a bus company that killed three persons and injured 16 others, a police official said on Thursday. | |||
Chief Supt. Felicisimo Khu, chief of the Directorate for Integrated Police Operations (DIPO) for Western Mindanao, said the business rivalry theory cropped up after the management of Rural Transit Mindanao, Inc. denied they received extortion demands. | |||
“Curiously, only the buses of Rural Transit have been attacked when there are many other passenger [buses] plying the same route,” he said. | |||
Khu said that since 2009, there have been 10 bomb attacks against the units of Rural Transit. | |||
The latest occurred Wednesday morning in the town of Carmen, North Cotabato while a unit was moving toward the town’s terminal. A 10-year-old girl was among the fatalities. | |||
The bus was bound for Cagayan de Oro and came from Tacurong City in Sultan Kudarat. | |||
Khu said the improvised explosive device that was planted inside the bus was fashioned from a .60 mm mortar shell. | |||
The police official said they would not have theorized business rivalry if other buses plying the same route were also attacked. | |||
Khu said they hope to crack the case with the help of a witness who saw the man who allegedly planted the improvised bomb. | |||
The worst attack against Rural Transit was in October 2010, which killed 10 persons and injured several others when a bomb also exploded inside a unit while passing by Matalam town in North Cotabato en route to Tacurong City from Cagayan de Oro City. | |||
