Three killed, 23 injured in Philippines bus bombing

A BOMB ripped through a bus in suburban Manila yesterday, killing at least three people and injuring 23 others.

The attack came just hours after a grenade blast in the Filipino capital’s financial district and a day after two deadly bombings in the south.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bus blast, but officials have said the al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf group was the most likely suspect for yesterday’s bombs in Zamboanga city that killed seven people and injured more than 150.
