NORTH COTABATO, Philippines -- The police is now in custody of two suspects in last week’s roadside bombing in Midsayap, North Cotabato that injured two soldiers and a high school student.
 
Supt. Tom Tuzon, chief of the Midsayap municipal police, on Tuesday said the duo, Lahmudin Ampuan, 21, and Adzal Dansulaw, 56, were turned over to them by soldiers who accosted them for unauthorized carrying of guns.
 
Adzal and Dansulaw were intercepted by personnel of the 62nd Reconnaissance Company of the Army’s 6th Infantry Division guarding a checkpoint in Barangay Salunayan in Midsayap.
 
The soldiers had also seized from them two fragmentation grenades.
 
The military tagged them both as being behind last week’s roadside bombing in a nearby barangay in the same municipality.
 
The bombing injured Pvt. 1st Class Jestoni Bauzon, Sgt. Edwin Soria and high school student Miriam Akis.
 
Tuzon said the soldiers who brought Ampuan and Dansulaw to the municipal police office reported having recovered from them a home-made machine pistol and two fragmentation grenades.
 
Tuzon said the gun and explosives confiscated from the suspects would be used as evidence in their prosecution.  
 
Dansulaw had told reporters they knew nothing about last week’s roadside bombing in southwest of Midsayap.
 
He said the soldiers coerced them to admit ownership of the two fragmentation grenades just to pin them down.
