By Liam Anacleto

CABIAO, Nueva Ecija – A councilor-brother of the late National Bureau of Investigation director Reynaldo Wycoco, his wife and daughter were unhurt when two grenades and an incendiary bomb were thrown in their house here early Wednesday morning.

Senior Insp. Romeo Ramos, Cabiao police chief, said one of two MK-2 grenades hurled at around 1 a.m. went off, ripping the right side of councilor Jumar Wycoco’s Toyota Corolla XL.

Wycoco, his wife Gloria and their 13-year-old daughter Glorigel were asleep during the attack.

Wycoco said before one of the grenades exploded, he heard a loud explosion a meter away from his house and immediately called the police.

Wycoco suspects that politics was behind the attack. Police are investigating. – MG
