The blast, from a bomb hid den on a motorcycle, wounded 21 people outside the restau rant, which is frequented by U.S. and Filipino soldiers, in the city of Zamboanga, officials said. Television footage showed a pool of blood and unconscious victims — some with their shirts bloodied — being loaded into ambulances. No one claimed responsibili ty for the blast. Suspicion fell on Muslim extremists like the al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf group and communist rebels who had threatened earlier in the day to attack police and mil itary installations. Security had already been tightened in advance of an Oct. 12 Christian festival in the mid dle of the southern islands that make up the archipelago’s Muslim heartland. Amid worries over further attacks, more troops were being sent in, and check points were set up on major roads and outside the city’s p>ower plant. A homemade bomb also went off Wednesday near the perimeter fence of a police headquarters in Imus town, in Cavite province south of Manila, damaging a parked car but causing no injuries, GMA7 television reported. In addition, police walked sniffer dogs through 18 stations for an elevated train line running through Manila after receiving intelligence reports that commu nist rebels might stage an attack there Wednesday. A Philippine military official said officials were trying to see if the two situations were linked Explosion ki An explosion outside a bar frequented by U.S. troops I killed an American soldiera- a Filipino, and wounded alia; 21 others Wednesday Malagutay Camp Navarro ZaropoaiB City Explosion killed two injured at least 21 Stm BasHan ^^^^Isabela Islam® Lm< • Manila 0 ^ PHILIPPINES Sr nil f i C hina Sr,i MALAYSIA Su/u Sea SOURCES: Associated Press ESS » to the blast in Zamboanga.:? miles south of Manila.

NEWS IN BRIEF Industrial robot sale plummets because of economic trouble GENEVA (AP) - Sales of industrial robots have plum meted in Japan and the United States but the potential for growth remains huge, and the next few years will see thou sands of smaller machines introduced to clean windows, milk cows and lead museum tours, according to a U.N. report. The annual World Robotics Survey, released Thursday, said economic problems pushed down investment in robots by 40 percent last year in Japan and by 17 percent in the United States. "The robot business was booming in Japan in the 1980s and early 1990s," said the 380- page study, issued by the U.N. Economic Commission for Europe and the International Federation of Robotics.
