| Follow-up blast in General Santos |
| 2002-04-22 |
| A bomb exploded in the southern Philippines just before President Gloria Arroyo arrived to see the damage left by a series of explosions a day earlier in which 14 people died and 60 were injured. No one was hurt in the latest blast in a docked motorboat in the southern port city of General Santos. The explosion, which totally destroyed the private boat, occurred as city officials were preparing to welcome Arroyo, who flew in by private plane under tight security. In a radio interview in Manila just before departing for General Santos, President Arroyo said she was considering putting key southern cities under a state of emergency. The point isn't to accomplish anything, it's to have an explosion. That way people think you could have accomplished something. |
