Muslim Terrorists Bomb Cathedral in the Philippines
Several are dead after a bomb was detonated in the Cathedral of St. Isabel. Please pray for an end to this violence in the Philippines.
Manila, Philippines, Apr 15, 2010 / 03:01 am (CNA).- Abu Sayyaf militants conducted a bombing assault on Isabela City in the Philippines on Tuesday morning, killing several people and severely damaging the Cathedral of St. Isabel. The local bishop said the cathedral was “totally” damaged.
At least 25 militants with the Al Qaeda-linked group, dressed in police and camouflaged military uniforms, set off two bombs that blew up a van and damaged the 40-year-old cathedral. A third bomb placed near a judge’s house and a bus terminal was safely detonated by soldiers. Read the whole story.
In July of 2009, the cathedral in Cotabato City was bombed by Muslim terrorists during mass. We were able to send some financial aid to the families of the victims.
