[Trending Now] Abu Sayaff Group Claims Responsibility For Davao Bombing, Threatens More Attacks To Come!

The Abu Sayaff Group (ASG) owns up to the Davao bombing that happened last night that left 14 people dead and 60 injured.

ASG spokesperson Abu Rami claimed that it was a "call for unity to all mujahideen in the country" after President Duterte ordered the government's military group to go to an all-out offense against the group.

Rami said the bombing does not intend to divert the government forces who are amidst intensifying the offensives in Sulu and Basilan.

"That's not a diversionary tactic. Alam mo naman ang gobyerno, marami silang strategy sa words kagaya ng ginagamit nilang 'terorista,' na kung iano mo, ikompara mo ang characteristic ng isang terorista ay nandyan naman sa kanila," he said.

He further warned that the attack is just the beginning and the country should expect more.

"This is only an initial, not a beginning but only an initial, ito ay ipinapakita lang namin na ang IS ay may unity na, may pagkakaisa na sa Pilipinas, at ito ay sinimulan namin para ipahiwatig namin sa Presidente Duterte na kami ay hinde natatakot sa kung sino-sino, kahit ipadala niya pa dito ang lahat ng tropa ng Pilipinas dito sa Jolo, kung sinasabi niya yung tactics niya na gi-giyerahin niya kami, makuha niya kami lahat, sino ba siya?" 

"Yun ay pauna lamang, dahil kung titingnan natin ay parang itinarget niya talaga ang Jolo, Sulu, kaya gaya nga ng sinabi namin na itatarget din namin kung saan siya nanggaling," Rami added.

In line with this, President Duterte have declared a "state of lawlessness" to tighten the security in the country. Police an military in Zamboanga are also on full alert as of the moment.
