SUSPECTED communist rebels attacked the Sarangani provincial jail with mortar shells in the capital town of Alabel Wednesday night, in a bid to free a detained comrade, but security forces repulsed the raid, the military said Thursday.
The incident happened a day after a pillbox exploded right in front of a police station in General Santos City and while nearby South Cotabato province was celebrating the Tinalak Festival, which ends Friday.
