Bomb Blast Kills 2 in Philippines
[An Nahar] A homemade bomb killed two men when it went kaboom!Thursday on the cycle of violence they were riding in a southern town, police said. A bystander was maimed. Investigators were trying to determine whether the men were innocent victims or were carrying the bomb that went off accidentally in Maguindanao province's Datu Odin Sinsuat township, provincial police chief Senior Superintendent Marcelo Pintac said. An earlier report said the bomb was fashioned from a mortar round, but Pintac said a bomb squadwas still trying to reconstruct the device from debris recovered at the scene. Pintac said the bomb went kaboom!as the men were passing the home of a provincial official who was killed in a car booming several months ago. Authorities have blamed previous bombings in the region on Mohammedan rebels, thugs, rival politicians and extortion gangs. Posted by: Fred 2011-12-16 |
