At least 14 killed in bombinj
in southern Philippines

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Three explosions ripped
through a major city in the southern Philippines on Sunday,
killing at least 14 people and injuring 45 others after a radio
station caller warned of a wave of bombings.
The caller claimed to be from the Muslim extremist group
Abu Sayyaf, which has been holding an American missionary
couple for nearly 1 1 months and is the target of a U.S.-backed
military campaign as part of Washington’s war on terrorism.
One bomb exploded outside a busy department store in
downtown General Santos, killing at least 14 people — four ot
them children — in a hail of shrapnel and Hying glass. Within
40 minutes, bombs went off near a radio station and a bus ter
minal in the largely Christian city ot 800,000 in the Mindanao
region, where Islamic militants have been fighting for an inde
pendent homeland.
The scene of blood, wreckage and shattered glass was rem
iniscent of five nearly simultaneous bombings in Manila 16
months ago that killed 22 people. An Indonesian man who has
claimed he planned those blasts pleaded guilty Thursday in
General Santos to explosives possession after leading police to
a buried cache of more than a ton of TNT, detonating cords and
M-16 rifles.
Police said it was too early to accuse any specific group of
carrying out Sunday’s bombings, blaming only “terrorists.”
But a Radio Mindanao Network office in nearby Koronadal
said it received a call an hour before the first blast from a man
who earlier called to complain about police boasts that the city
was safe from terrorists. The man asked whether the station
wanted to cover bombings later in the day.
A separate warning circulated via cellphone text message — a chief method of commumcaiiotbA
Philippines — said 18 bombs had been planted around the city and would start exploding afterlia l
Police said they received an anonymous call with the same claim, but did not say what measure i
took. Bomb threats are common in the Philippines.
Radio station manager Elmer Ubaldo said he decided not to air the warning because hedidnoi«J
to cause panic. The caller identified himself as Abu Muslim al-Ghazie and said he represenieJ
Harakatul al-Islamiyah, the formal name used by Abu Sayyaf. Other spokespersons for the groupsaxi'l
had no knowledge of Abu Sayyaf involvement.

SOURCES Associated Press: ESR
PARIS (AP) — In a huge
upset, extreme-right leader Jean-
Marie Le Pen qualified on
Sunday to face President Jacques
Chirac in the runoff for French
president, according to media
projections based on exit polls.
Le Pen. who virulently
opposes immigration, was pro
jected to place second by all
three major French networks,
beating Prime Minister Lionel
Jospin, who was in third place.
The projected result was seen
as a political earthquake. For
months, polls had consistently
projected that Chirac, a conser
vative, and Jospin, a Socialist,
would be the top two finishers in
Sunday’s first round of voting.
A shocked Jospin announced
he would retire from political life
immediately after the presiden
tial election, which ends with the
May 5 runoff.
Sunday’s first-round of vot
ing featured a record 16 candi
dates and an abstention rate
estimated at 28 percent — the
highest in nearly four decades.
Le Pen is founder and head of
the National Front party, which
historically has blamed immi
grants for high unemployment
and urban violence. He is notori
ous for once describing the
Holocaust as “a detail” of history.
He has denied he is anti-Semitic.
Le Pen, 73, has played a cen
tral role as kingmaker in past
president ial e lect ions, with al):|
ical score of 15 percent ll
placed third in the last twoffil
This is his fourth presfel
campaign.
During the campaign,Ck-1
denied allegations that het;

idential election.
France has been govet®
since 1981 by ChiraD w®
stream right or the Socialists ot

previous terms.
For Jospin, a political hern
