MANILA, Jun 6 (dpa): Two people were killed on Sunday when a roadside bomb allegedly planted by communist rebels exploded when they ran over it while cycling in the eastern Philippines, police said.
A 16-year-old boy was also injured in the blast in Masbate City, 378 kilometres south-east of Manila, said Ma. Luisa Calubaquib, a regional police spokeswoman.
The boy’s 40-year-old father and his 21-year-old cousin were killed in the explosion. It was an accident,” Calubaquib said. They ran into the improvised explosive device reckleslessly planted by communist rebels.” Their targets are probably the uniformed personnel,” she added, referring to soldiers and policemen.
