Philippines bomb attacks leave 33 injured as blasts rip through sports event and busy road
The mystery blast is the second attack on a public place by unknown bombers in just one week
AT least 33 people have been injured in two separate bomb blasts in the Philippines, authorities say.
The first blast ripped through a boxing match at a downtown plaza in Hilongos, Leyte, last night, wounding 33 people.
Barely an hour later a second bomb went off on a highway on the southern island of Mindanao. It is not clear if anyone was injured in the second blast.
Another unexploded bomb was also found in Leyte, which is about 385 miles south of Manila, less than an hour after the first went off.
Lieutenant Colonel Edgar Delos Reyes said: "A lamppost was catapulted from the impact of the explosion."
The mystery blasts are the second attacks on public places by unknown bombers in just one week.
