BIFM start Ramadan off with a bang
Members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Federation Movement (BIFM) detonated two improvised explosive devices in Maguindanao Monday night. Col. Dickson Hermoso, spokesman of the Armys 6th Infantry Division, said the BIFM exploded the improvised bombs around 11:30 p.m., targeting the Magaslong bridge.The blast caused minor damage to the bridge. Hermoso said the bridge is open only to light vehicles while it is being repaired. He said, This recent act of the (BIFM) is strongly condemned by the people, businessmen and LGUs (local government units) of Datu Piang and adjoining communities as haram especially that the holy month of Ramadan is about to start." Hermoso said the act might hamper Muslims travel to mosques to pray. He said, Ramadan is due to start tonight or tomorrow, so this may affect the movement of those going to mosques because the bridge is damaged...Datu Piang is a Muslim community so the law-abiding people in the area are reacting against it (attack)...That is anti-people."
