COTABATO CITY — An old grudge may have led to the Dec. 30 bombing of a billiard hall in Pikit, North Cotabato that left two bystanders dead and caused serious injuries to 13 others, police said.

PO3 Sandique Solaiman, officer on case, said the motorcycle-riding suspects who tossed two Mark II fragmentation grenades inside the Moler’s Billiard Hall in downtown Pikit, targeted someone inside the establishment.

Solaiman, however, declined to identify the suspects pending the filing of criminal charges against them. Police and military agents are now locating the whereabouts of the suspects with the help of local leaders. — John Unson
