Ecija police still clueless on grenade attack
MANILA, Philippines - Police are still clueless on who lobbed a grenade at the police station in Aliaga, Nueva Ecija last Sunday, wounding a police officer and damaging the car of the town’s police chief.
Chief Inspector Roberto Sena, Aliaga police chief, said they were having a hard time looking for witnesses because the grenade attack took place at around 2:40 a.m. last Sunday when residents were asleep.
Sena, however, said he has some suspicions on who could be behind the attack, but refused to elaborate pending further investigation.
He said he could be the target of the attack because of the efforts of the Aliaga against guns for hire and drug pushers.
Sena told The STAR that the grenade landed and exploded at the right side of the Aliaga police station in Barangay Poblacion Centro.
He said one of his men, SPO1 Ramil Sanchez, was hit by shrapnel in the upper thigh, while his Honda Civic was damaged.
