2 Dead, Nearly 30 Wounded in Bomb Blast at Philippine Mall

The Diplomat  

A terrorist attack in the country’s restive south is believed to be the work of Islamic State-linked militants. Onlookers watch National Police investigators examine the site at the South Seas Mall following an explosion on New Year’s Eve in Cotabato city, southern Philippines. Suspected Muslim militants remotely detonated a bomb near the entrance of a mall in the southern Philippines on Monday as people did last-minute shopping ahead of New Year’s Eve celebrations. Superintendent Romeo Galgo Jr., the deputy police director of Cotabato, said witnesses saw a man leave a box in a crowded area near the mall’s entrance where vendors and shoppers were milling. Hundreds of militants aligned with the Islamic State group laid siege in the southern Islamic city of Marawi in May 2017, sparking five months of intense fighting and military airstrikes that left more than 1,100 mostly militants dead and displaced hundreds of thousands of villagers.
