An explosion in a crowded southern Philippines market has killed at least 14 people and injured 60 others. The motive for the attack is not yet clear.

Police have cordoned off the area and are investigating the type of explosive used. They would not speculate about who was responsible but said there had been recent reports of threats by Muslim rebels from Abu Sayyaf. The group best known for kidnappings for ransom is linked to the regional militant network Jemaah Islamiah but the Mayor of General Santos said the explosion could stem from a feud between two groups of stall owners at the market.
