About a kilometer from their base, men hiding in the roadside forest detonated the bomb buried on the roadside, injurng them and the father and daughter who were riding behind the truck on a motorcycle. Police suspect insurgents who had warned about more unrest during the period between Ramadan and Hari Raya might have been responsible for the crime. Posted by: ryuge 2017-06-25 |
