| Roadside bomb targets military, media convoy in Mindanao |
| 2014-02-05 |
| A roadside bomb exploded on Tuesday as a convoy of military and media vehicles passed a village in the southern Philippine province of Maguindanao. The explosion happened near Raja Buayan town where two armored vehicles were escorting a truckload of soldiers pursuing militants from the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF). There were no reports of casualties or injuries and no one claimed responsibility for the attack. But the 6th Infantry Division quickly blamed the BIFF and their sympathizers for the bombing. Filipino journalists, who were tailing the military convoy, witnessed the powerful blast and said they saw a black smoke billowing from the roadside several blocks away from one of the two armored personnel carriers escorting the troops. |
