7 wounded in Maguindanao grenade blast

ZAMBOANGA CITY: Seven persons, including three children, were wounded after a man lobbed a grenade at a public market in the restive Maguindanao province late Friday afternoon.

Although the reason for the attack was not immediately known, authorities are looking into the possibility that it could have been caused by a clan war. Investigators are also considering a report that it may have been a crime of passion as suspect Sauto Giti was reportedly left by his wife for a younger man.
