Power cut in southern Philippines after blasts
MANILA, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Electricity was cut to wide areas of the southern Philippines on Saturday after suspected Muslim rebels blew up the main power transmission line with crude bombs, army and power company officials said.
Three or four improvised explosive devices made from mortar rounds toppled the transmission line tower in Lanao del Norte province on the southern island of Mindanao before dawn, army spokeswoman Steffani Cacho told reporters.
Cacho said the blasts hit the steel tower and snapped the 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, adding troops were sent to the area to guard engineers and technicians working to restore power.
Engineer Avelino Dawis, manager of the state-owned National Transmission Corporation in Iligan City, said repair workers were immediately sent to the area, but there were delays because they asked the military to provide security.
"We're doing our best to restore power as soon as possible in key urban centres in the affected provinces, including the main southern port city of Zamboanga," Dawis said.

Rogue members, my hair white butt. These jokers were acting on orders of their Muslim thug bosses.
Where's Black Jack Pershing's son or grandson?? Pershing knew full well how to deal with the MILFs.

I'm glad you posted this. It's important, while all eyes are on Gaza, to keep on watching out all around. Filipino soldiers and non-Muslim citizens in Mindanao, Indian soldiers in Kashmir (and other places), Ethiopians and Russians on their respective borders with the Islamosphere, and Thai Buddhist soldiers in their jihad-wracked southern provinces, are all in the same fight together, all trying to defend themselves against representatives of the same vicious ideology.
