3 dead, 48 injured in Philippine grenade attack
2002-02-16
  • Three people were killed and 48 others were wounded in a grenade attack in a packed market in the Philippine island of Jolo. The blast occurred at about when hundreds of residents were busy buying goods at the popular town market. Two young boys and an old woman died of their wounds in the hospital later. Local military chief Romeo Telentino blamed supporters of jailed Muslim rebel leader Nur Misuari and the Muslim kidnap-for-ransom Abu Sayyaf group for the bloody attack.

    However, he also said he could not rule out ordinary criminals as being involved.
    Nor would he rule out Mexican bandidos, Commanches, or indignant Eskimos. Telentino appears to have received his police training in Pakistan.
