[Bangla Daily Star]  A grenade attack at a packed circus show injured at least 37 people in the troubled southern Philippines, police said yesterday.The blast in Davao city was apparently meant to strike an army camp but the grenade bounced off netting and landed inside an adjacent basketball gym where a circus was being held late Saturday, police said. It was not yet known who carried out the attack and why, but communist and Mohammedan Death Eaters are known to operate in the area and have been blamed for similar incidents in the past. Davao city is on Mindanao island in the southern third of the mainly Catholic Philippines where deadly insurgencies have raged for decades. Posted by: Fred 2012-09-03 |
