Wounded in Philippine bus bombing rises to 17
Wednesday March 29, 5:14 PM http://asia.news.yahoo.com/060329/3/2i5x8.html MANILA, March 29 (Reuters) - A crude bomb exploded on Wednesday inside a bus in Digos City in the southern Philippines, wounding 17 people, police said. Security officials were investigating whether the communist guerrilla group, the New People's Army (NPA), had planted the improvised explosive device, which went off around 11:30 a.m. (0330 GMT) after the bus stopped at a terminal. "We are investigating if the NPA is behind this since it's their anniversary," provincial police officer Reggiette Tecson told Reuters. The NPA, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines, vowed on Tuesday to step up attacks on government targets outside the capital as the rebels marked their 37th anniversary on Wednesday. Passengers and some vendors at the terminal were injured in the bus attack, said Ninang Hadjaril, police superintendent of Davao del Sur province. He said another parked bus at the terminal was also damaged. The NPA guerrillas have been waging an insurgency since 1969, which has killed more than 40,000 people, deterred investment and slowed development in one of Southeast Asia's poorest countries. 000. -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
