3 teeners killed in Cotabato bombing

ZAMBOANGA CITY: Authorities tightened security in Mindanao on Monday after a deadly bombing that killed three teenagers and left at least 23 others injured in North Cotabato’s M’Lang town.

Capt. Jo Ann Petinglay, a spokesperson for the 6th Infantry Division, said Sunday’s explosion was heard near a shopping store downtown but it was unclear whether the attack was the handiwork of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) or other rebel groups in the restive southern region of Mindanao.
