| Filippino cops looking for boy in connection with Valentine's Day Massacre |
| 2005-02-16 |
| COULD one of the explosions that killed seven people and wounded about 150 in the Valentine's Day carnage that jolted the country have been planted by a child bomber? Or was the boy, aged about 10, merely used by the plotters to carry out their deadly attacks? Police said the boy had left a bag apparently containing explosives in front of the Ecoland terminal in Davao City on Monday morning. Moments later, the bag exploded, killing one person and wounding five others. It had contained TNT laden with shrapnel. Police are now hunting the child, described as about 4 feet tall with medium build and dark brown |

| #2 Frankly, I'm shocked at the level of profiling. It's insensitive to children, brown people, boys, and those who are 4 ft tall with a medium build. They should just say that they are looking for somebody. |

| #1 Police are now hunting the child, described as about 4 feet tall with medium build and dark brown Maybe I am just insensitive to the sublties of police work, but does this not describe 50% +/- of the children in the Philippines? |
