ELECTRICITY was cut to wide areas of the southern Philippines yesterday after suspected Muslim rebels blew up the main power transmission line with crude bombs, officials said.
Three or four improvised explosive devices made from mortar rounds toppled the transmission line tower in Lanao del Norte province on Mindanao island before dawn, army spokeswoman Steffani Cacho said.
She said the blasts hit the steel tower and snapped high-voltage cable supplying electricity to three provinces on the Zamboanga peninsula and most parts of Misamis Occidental and Lanao del Norte provinces.
"We suspect rogue members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) are behind the attack," Cacho said. Troops were guarding engineers restoring power.
