The 2000 Ozamiz Ferry Bombing is one of the Philippines' bloodiest bombing incidents. At least 44 people were killed, while more than 100 ferry passengers were wounded.[1][2]

Incident[edit]

On February 25, 2000, Large incendiary bombs exploded on three buses of Super Five Transport aboard the M/V Our Lady of Mediatrix ferry as it crossed Panguil Bay from Kolambugan, Lanao del NortetoOzamiz City. The explosions created a fire which engulfed the bus, spreading to four vehicles behind it. 44 people died while 100 people were injured.[1][2] The bomb exploded as the ferry was about 20 yards from the pier at Ozamiz.[3]

Reactions[edit]

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) were among those blamed for the attack.[4] The Armed Forces Chief Angelo Reyes also blamed Extortionists.[4][5] Regarding the investigation, the bombs were allegedly time bombs.[5] The alleged perpetrators were Allan Saumay and Amanodin Dimalna who were arrested.[6] This action among others[example needed] prompted President Joseph Estrada to declare "all-out war" against MILF.[7][8]
