TACURONG CITY –- Police eye personal
grudge involving guests of a videoke bar here that triggered the grenade
throwing incident early Sunday morning.

Army and bomb experts safely defused the
fragmentation grenade lobbed by two men riding tandem on a motorbike at the
entrance of Barako Videoke Bar along national highway linking Tacurong City and
Isulan, Sultan Kudarat.
