Saturday, September 30, 2006 6 injured in grenade blast in south RP By Al Jacinto
AT LEAST 6 people were injured when a grenade exploded near a huge crowd watching a rock concert in the southern Philippines, police and military report said Friday.
It said an unidentified man lobbed the grenade at a crowd in Kabacan town in North Cotabato province late Thursday, wounding at least six students.
There were no reports of casualties, but the explosion sent many people running away from the scene and dozens had been hurt in the stampede.
No individual or group has claimed responsibility for the blast, but police investigators suspect the attack was connected to a fraternity or gang war. Police ruled out terrorism as behind the blast.
