| One soldier was killed and two others were injured in a bomb explosion in the southern Philippineisland of Jolo on Saturday, the military said. They were trying to defuse a bomb, made from an 81mm mortar shell, near a restaurant when it suddenly went off, the military said. The military said the Abu Sayyaf group might have planted the bomb to sow terror to ruin the country’s Independence Day celebration on Saturday. |
