THE two suicide bombers who died in separate incidents recently were mother and son based on DNA test results, the military said.

In a statement released late Wednesday, the Joint Task Force Sulu said that according to the Philippine National Police (PNP) crime laboratory in Davao, there was a “99.9 percent match” between the DNA samples taken from the alleged young suicide bomber identified only as “Abduramil” or “Yousoph” and Reda Mohammad Mahmud, who was allegedly behind the attack at an Army detachment in Indanan, Sulu in September.
