Three dead, 33 wounded in cockfight bombing
Three people were killed and 33 others injured after a man tossed a grenade into a cockfighting arena in the southern Philippines on Friday.More than a hundred people had gathered at the makeshift cockpit in the small rural town of Aleosan when a fragmentation grenade went off, said provincial police chief Superintendent Conrado Salinas. Survivors saw the man who threw the grenade and recognized him as a local resident, Salinas said. He is now being hunted by police. The police chief said, "We suspect that the man lost (money) in previous cockfights and he wanted to get even." Posted by: ryuge 2012-04-15 |
