The 2007 Batasang Pambansa bombing occurred on the night of November 13, 2007, at the Batasang Pambansa Complex in Quezon City, Philippines—the seat of the country's House of Representatives. As representatives Wahab Akbar (Basilan lone), Luzviminda Ilagan (Gabriela), and Pryde Henry Teves (Negros Oriental 3rd) were exiting the south wing of the building after a session, explosives in a nearby parked motorcycle were detonated. Akbar and a staffer of Ilagan were killed in the blast. Ilagan and Teves were injured, while four injured staffers later succumbed to their injuries.
In a follow-up police operation, three suspects were killed while another three, among them Ikram Indama, were arrested. The suspects were allegedly members of Abu Sayyaf, a jihadist separatist group based in Basilan and Sulu. Akbar was apparently the target of the attack and Akbar's political rivals Gerry Salapuddin and Mujiv Hataman were named as masterminds but later cleared by the courts. In 2017, Ikram Indama was convicted of multiple murders for the attack and was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, while the two other suspects were acquitted. Three other suspects remain at large.
