Al-Khobar prey fields buses anew

KORONADAL CITY – The controversial Yellow Bus Line (YBL) Co., whose buses have been the victims of recent bombing attacks, resumes its operations to-day after getting assurance from the police on the security of its passengers from the Al-Khobar extortion gang.

YBL temporarily suspended its operations a day after explosions ripped through two of its buses in its terminal here last Aug. 3. A Christian preacher was killed and 12 others were wounded in the blasts.

YBL made the move upon orders of the city council presided over by Vice Mayor Vicente de Jesus, and the South Cotabato police headed by Senior Superin-tendent Robert Kiunisala, for fear that another bomb attack might occur.
