2006-10-11 |
COTABATO: Twelve people were killed late on Tuesday and at least 42 injured in a bomb blast in southern Philippines, officials and police said. The bomb exploded in the town of Makilala on the southern island of Mindanao during a celebration to mark the town's 52nd anniversary, said Mayor Honofre Respicio. No one claimed responsibility for the blast. Earlier on Tuesday four people were injured when a bomb planted by suspected Muslim extremists exploded in the busy market of Tacurong City, just 50 kilometres from Makilala, North Cotabato province. |

#2 How does one dress for bombing season? Layers, so one is still modestly attired after stripping off the the gooey bits, perhaps patterned with red so the blood doesn't show? /dear God, I can't believe I actually thought that. So sorry! |

#1 Retaliation for the takedown of a JI house and the detainment of the family of a known JI. It is also the bombing season in Asia. I would expect more this month and bombings to slow by Nov. |
