Bomb rocks Church in Philippines, Islamist group blamed

Image...
A bomb blast outside a church in the southern Philippines has killed at least one person and injured at least eight, the army says.

The military immediately blamed the attack in the town of Cotabato on an Islamist militant group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

The group has been fighting to establish a separate Islamic state.

One of its leaders denied any involvement in the attack, saying there was no religious conflict in the south.

    The picture can't be from the Philippines...

    No, that picture isn't from the Phillipines- it's from Detroit! Jeez, don't you know that Maoist and Islamist terrorist groups are active in the Phillipines? What shocks me is that an Islamist group didi this! I figured it was a group of Mormons or maybe Jehovah's Witnesses that did this- after all, Jehovah's Witnesses are known for their ruthlessness- at least when it comes to knocking on doors and interrupting people's dinners!!

    meh, don't know enough about it but don't they normally take credit for their attacks?

    they tried to blame the OK city bombings on islamists too didn't they?
