AFP: ISIS-INSPIRED ABU SAYYAF GROUP BEHIND JOLO BLAST


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.
