IED components found near Butuan City
A huge cache of improvised explosive device (IEDs) components was found by Army soldiers only a kilometer away from a farming village in Butuan City.
Lieutenant Colonel Kenny Rae Tizon, commanding officer of the Army 48th Infantry Battalion said the explosive haul, consisting of 35 kilograms of ammonium nitrate in two containers, four blasting caps with detonating cord, and two 40-meter electric wire, are enough to kill anybody within a 50-meter radius.
Tizon said a former rebel led the soldiers to cache located near Purok 6, Barangy Bugsukan in Butuan City last September 11.
