Scores wounded in bombing

October 17, 2002

A BOMB has ripped through a packed department store in the southern Philippine city of Zamboanga, wounding scores of people, police said.

Initial police reports said at least 10 people were seen being taken away in ambulances after the explosion today at the Shop O'Rama department store.

The explosion is the latest in a spate of bomb attacks in the troubled southern Philippines.

[A bomb exploded in a department store in the southern Philippine port city of Zamboanga at midday Thursday, killing at least two people and injuring others, according to radio reports.]

Just like bombings and sniper murders in Israel.

Just like the 9-11 "bombings" and "DC" sniper murders in Virginia.

I'm just wondering how long it will take our extremely overpaid and underworked bureacracy to figure this one out.

But of course, they have already figured it out. They are now busy figuring how to "present' the story (= lie, spin) to the electorate. Clearly the VA/DC police and FBI are still heavily Cintonized. Can you imagine what effect there would be on the upcoming election if it was announced that a team of arab terrorists was killing people randomly in the beltway? Whooo Baby. No whay they are going to let this one go before Nov 5. And of course, the hapless 'pubs are, as always, the hapless 'pubs.

Lets cut to the chase boys and girls, if we are honest, it looks like the world is ramping up for another World War. Instead of Japanese Emperor worship or Nazi fascism, this time around we are dealing with Muslim religious fascism. The enemy will not be wearing any national uniform or representing a nation-state but will, like the spy behind enemy lines, seek to blend in until the opportunity to strike/kill presents itself. According to Al Quida training manuals, they are going to great lengths to blend in among us and the nations of the world in which they live.

The forces that make up this army are Muslims, not Muslim extremists, but Muslims following their master Mohammed and his book, the Koran.

According to the historical evidence, their founder, Mohammad was a pedophile-terrorist who used the sword as his great tool of persuasion and conversion. Their marching orders from the Koran demand that they lie to, kill and enslave us Infidels unless we convert by choice or by force to worship their false god allah and Mohammad his false prophet. (Sorry, I am not going to apologize for offending the sensibilities of Muslims because I have stated the historical facts.) Their stated goal in this war is to subvert, overthrow, destroy and subjugate every non-Islamic government (beginning with America and Israel) and kill, convert or enslave the citizen-infidels that make up their non-Muslim populations.

In their perverted minds and teachings, the legitimate targets of these attacks are Infidel civilians; non-combatants, women, children, ANYONE and EVERYONE, especially those who are NOT in uniform. Islamic terrorists tend to not fair all that well against national forces in uniform... they shoot back, where as women, children and guys in business suits and coveralls make easy targets. They don't have guns and usually have no concept of defending themselves from people who want to kill them.

I know the above is so un-politically correct and mean-spirited but these people are trying to kill us, our families and our nations.

From a Biblical-prophecy perspective we are living in wondrous and traumatic times... Jesus Christ is Lord and the true and living God, maranatha, come quickly Lord Jesus.

However, until He does come, stay safe, keep your eyes open, buy a weapon and learn how to defend yourself because you and I are “the enemy” in their eyes and war has been declared and unleashed upon us.

We need to ship the Phillipinos a whole boatload of John Moses Brownings creation, the 1911 and a good supply of .45 ACP ammunition. After all it, and it's catridge, were specifically designed to deal with drugged up Muslims in the Phillipines. It worked pretty well then, and it still would today.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

The Muslims need a strong message. The Romans made it clear to North Africa about the consequences of attacking Rome. They leveled Carthage. Destroy Mecca and the Muslims will begin to know terror. Muslims are all complicit in the assault on the west. Except for one or two of its clerics they all blame us for their anger. We should make toast of the middle east and clean the ba$tardS of this foul, despicable religion out of America

CNN now reports at least 2 bomb blasts, at least 4 dead, many injured. Apparently the bombs targeted a Christian area.

Now Three Explosions


ZAMBOANGA, Philippines (AP) - Two bombs exploded Thursday in downtown Zamboanga city in the violence-wracked southern Philippines, and local radio reported at least two people were killed and others injured. The first blast occurred at 11:30 a.m. local time at the baggage counter of the Shop-o-Rama department store, and was followed a half-hour later by a second blast at an adjacent shopping centre. Police said they found a third bomb nearby and safely detonated it.

Military canine units were brought in to sniff for other explosives. All shops in the city's commercial centre closed and police advised people to stay out of the area.

Shop-o-Rama is a five-storey department store. The ground floor is a grocery, with other departments on the upper floors. It is located about two blocks away from the police headquarters in this city of 600,000 residents, and five blocks from City Hall.

A bomb blast in Zamboanga two weeks ago killed four people, including an American Green Beret. Officials blamed that blast on the al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf group.

Wasn't there a bombing at a mall in Finland as well, maybe late last week? I think I heard Mike Savage talking about it.

[Michael2001]

Obviously US foreign policy is to blame.

[alaskanfan]

I did a Google news search to find any moderate moslem cleric's condemnation of this senseless act...

Interesting, this and Bali, if decided it's Al Qaeda, then gives the U.S. an 'in' (or justifies a stronger presence in the case of the Philipines) into countries around China.
