Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said that the twin blasts that rocked Indanan, Sulu last week appears to be a case of suicide bombing attack.
The incident killed at least 8 people and leaving 22 injured.
“It is evident from the report because this guy knocked on the gate, so the guard went near to ask what the person needed. So when the guard was at the gate, the person exploded, so this is obviously a suicide bombing,” he said.
Lorenzana said that if confirmed, this will be the third case of suicide bombing in the region which remains to be under martial law.
“The first one was in Lamitan, the second was in a cathedral in Jolo. It’s becoming an occurrence and we are very much concerned about this,” Lorenzana said.
The Islamic State claimed the bombing incidents saying their suicide bombers perpetuated the attacks.
