I woke up to this news earlier: The Glorietta 2 Mall in Manila's Makati City - our commercial district - was hit by a bomb blast at around 1:30 pm today. Not too many details are in yet, but early reports say at least 8 people have been killed, with 60-70 others wounded.

What sickens me is that the tangoes responsible for this atrocity blew up an area of the mall that carried several children's stores. Among the fatalities was a 7-year-old. God have mercy on their souls if they really were targetting kids, because we won't.:mad:

It's anybody's guess at this point who the perpetrators are - the police speculate that it may be the work of Jemaah Islamiyah, a local militant group suspected of having ties with Al Qaeda.

I'll let you guys know if anything new turns up.
