The Armed Forces of the Philippines
(AFP) is convinced that an ISIS-inspired Abu Sayyaf Group is responsible for
the twin bombings in the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral in Jolo, Sulu. The
military is also studying the possibility it was a suicide bombing.
Authorities are faced with several
problems in terms of identifying the perpetrators behind the deadly bombing in
Jolo on Sunday.
One of the problems they have is
that there were no surveillance cameras facing the cathedral directly. There
are, however, two other closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) that gave them
something to think about.
The CCTV footage showed the moment
of the first blast. The camera seemed to flicked on impact. The pedestrians,
once calm, are now hurrying off. But just before the second blast, spotted on
the footage were three men who were hurriedly passing something onto each other
before hurriedly leaving the scene.
The military identified them as
Ajang Ajang -- bandits conducting extortion activities affiliated with the Abu
Sayyaf Group. Military officials said there is reason to believe the man behind
the bombing is Abu Sayyaf leader Sawadjaan.
