Church, building bombed in southern Philippines: officials
24 minutes ago
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “ZAMBOANGA, Philippines (AFP) — Improvised bombs hit a Roman Catholic church and a commercial building in the southern Philippines early Sunday, causing panic and damage but no injuries, the authorities said.
The first explosion struck the gate of a two-storey church in downtown Zamboanga as people arrived for the dawn Sunday mass, destroying glass doors and causing part of the ceiling to collapse, police said.
Terrified churchgoers stampeded out of the prayer hall but there were no injuries, police investigators added. A parked truck on the church courtyard was also damaged.
About 10 minutes later a similar bomb exploded outside an Internet cafe at a commercial building near the church, causing minor damage but no casualties. Police said the establishment was closed at the time.”
Traces of explosive found in Muslim school
Officials yesterday found traces of bomb-making material in the Islam Burapa school in Muang district, which has been turned into a centre for insurgents to plan their moves since the state ordered it shut down last year.
The rebel group ignored last year's raid at the school when security officers rounded up seven suspected insurgents, and have continued to plot insurgent activities there by making bombs and supplying them to militants, according to a villager.
The officials, led by Khunying Porntip Rojanasunan, director of the Central Institute of Forensic Science, found traces of explosive materials on furniture, utensils and cloth in four shelters in the school. One of the shelters belongs to a man identified as Abdulaman Mauseng.
