Explosion At Catholic Mass In Philippines | Police Suspect “Revenge” By Pro-Islamic State Militants
A bombing attack on a university gymnasium in the southern Philippines killed four people and wounded several others on December 3. The explosion ripped through a gymnasium at the Mindanao State University in Marawi City. The bomb attack happened during a Catholic mass service on a Sunday morning. Forty-two others suffered mostly minor wounds, authorities said, adding the situation was "under control". Masses on Sunday drew larger crowds than usual across the Philippines as it is the start of Advent, the Chuch’s four-week vigil to Christmas Day. Police said they were investigating the explosion, including the possibility that it was carried out by pro-ISIL (ISIS) fighters. Watch this video to know more.
