Manila blast kills at least three, injures 23: A bomb ripped

Manila blast kills at least three, injures 23: A bomb ripped
through a bus in suburban Manila late Friday, killing at least
three people and injuring 23 others, hours after a grenade blast
in the capital's financial district and a day after two deadly
bombings in the southern Philippines. There was no immediate
claim of responsibility for the bus blast. The bus explosion took
place at 10 p.m. on the EDSA highway, one of the capital's main
thoroughfares, in Quezon City, despite tightened security
following the earlier attacks. -- AP
