MANILA, Philippines – Police have recovered a powerful explosive device inside an Indian businessman’s car, an official said Thursday, April 25.
A car repair shop in Alaminos, Laguna alerted police after a mechanic found the device Wednesday, April 24, inside the vehicle’s engine compartment, which the owner and two compatriots had driven there for repairs, said Calabarzon regional police director, Chief Supt. Benito Estipona.
“It appears they did not know about the bomb. The theory is they might have been the target,” Estipona told reporters.
He described the bomb as made from military-grade C-4 explosives rigged to a mobile phone as a trigger device.
Estipona said the three Indian men are being questioned by Alaminos police. He declined to elaborate and gave no other details about the men.
Violence related to business or political rivalries is common in the Philippines, where there is an active black market for weapons, such as guns and explosives. – Rappler.com
