Authorities are investigating a motorcycle, which they believed was used for carrying explosives that rocked the Batasan Pambansa complex in Quezon City Tuesday night, killing one, and hurting at least 12 others including three House members.

Radio dzBB quoted National Capital Region Police chief Director Geary Barias as saying that investigators are getting leads from the motorcycle that was burned in the incident. The blast took place barely a minute after the adjournment of a congressional session at past 8 p.m., dzBB said, quoting information from the police.

The loud explosion killed Marcial Talvo, driver of Gabriela party-list Rep. Luzviminda Ilagan. The blast also hurt Ilagan, and congressmen Henry Teves of Negros Oriental and Wahab Akbar of Basilan. Ilagan, Teves and Akbar are all first-term lawmakers. - GMANews.TV
