Agents of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation have arrived here to re-evaluate the site of Thursday’s blast that killed two people and injured more than 20 others.
This developed as local police bomb experts claimed that the components used in the bomb that ripped through the offices of the US-funded Alliance for Mindanao Off-Grid Renewable Energy (Amore) and of Representative Ma. Isabel Climaco was similar to those used in the 2002 bombings here that killed an American soldier.
Rebecca Thompson, US Embassy information officer, told the Inquirer that the FBI personnel were sent not because Washington was dipping its hands in the investigation but “providing assistance at the request of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police.”
