                    [Summary] => 



COTABATO CITY — Police are still facing a blank wall on Friday’s bombing here which caused injuries to three people and triggered panic among residents.


Sources from the military’s intelligence community, however, said informants and some of the secessionist rebels are convinced that the bombing could be a "test mission" for a new batch of  guerrillas being trained in handling explosives by the Jemaah Islamiya in a hinterland in Lanao del Norte.
