Norberto-Gonzales
Grenade Kills Two in Iligan
Looks like it’s bomb weekend in the Philippines. Twenty-nine hours after a C-4 explosive kills nine in the capital, a grenade kills two in the provinces.
National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales on Saturday said the deadly blast at Glorietta 2 mall appeared to be “a sample” as he warned of more attacks in key cities in the country.
Hours after Gonzales’s warning, an explosion rocked Iligan City early Saturday evening and at least two people were reportedly killed.
The blast that occurred around 6:30 p.m. at a political meeting in Digkilaan, Iligan City, was reportedly caused by a grenade.
”What is more ominous here is they may be planning a bigger attack,” Gonzales said on Vice President Noli de Castro’s weekly radio program Saturday.
”They will first show a sample. That means that while the bomb yesterday (Friday) already was powerful, it is still just a sample,” Gonzales said.
Uncannily accurate, that Gonzales guy.
