Bomb kills two
in Philippines
MANILA, Philippines (AP)
— A nail-packed bomb killed an
American Green Beret and a
Filipino on Wednesday outside a
restaurant near a base in the
troubled southern Philippines,
where the U.S. military helped
in the fight against al-Qaida-
linked rebels this year.
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

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.

his life with flowers? Find out with this bilingual musical adaptation
