MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A trio of bombs jolted the Philippines on Monday, killing at least three people and injuring at least 16 others, police said.
The Muslim separatist group Abu Sayyaf claimed responsibility in a call between the explosions….
“You can attribute this to us,” an Abu Sayyaf leader, Abu Solaiman, said in a call to local radio 20 minutes after the blasts. “There is one more to come.”
The third bombing was reported soon afterward on a bus along Manila’s busy EDSA highway just below a station for an elevated train….
A bombing killed at least 14 people and wounded 70 others December 12 in General Santos, a bustling, predominantly Christian city of 500,000 people about 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) south of Manila.
It was the first terror attack there since a shopping mall blast killed 14 people in 2002. Several Muslim militants were charged with multiple murder over the attack.
