Muslim breakaway group blamed for deadly Philippine bombing

---

Muslim rebels in the southern Philippines who have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group are suspected of carrying out a bus bombing that claimed 10 lives, the military said Wednesday.

A military spokesman said the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), a band of a few hundred guerrillas operating on the troubled southern island of Mindanao, are believed to have staged Tuesday's attack, which also left 42 wounded.

"The bomb/IED is made of an 81 mm mortar round (that was) cellphone-activated. The same bomb signature with the IED explosion that happened last November," said Major Ezra Balagtey, spokesman for the region.

In August the BIFF uploaded clips on YouTube showing one of its leaders pledging support for the Islamic State organisation, the brutal jihadist group that has seized a large swathe of territory in Iraq and Syria.

These people don't deserve any place in the archipelago. They should be shipped to a place where they can play with paintball guns and silly toys.

Authorities should carefully investigate the incident. They should be reminded of the "Bojinka Plot" of Ramzi Yousef where he planned to assassinate the Pope in 1995. Months before the scheduled Philippine visit of Pope John Paul II, Yousef tested a bomb on PAL Plane bound for Japan. Fortunately the plot was uncovered days before, the visit of the Pope.

The terrorist responsible for the bombing of this bus, might also be plotting something bad for Pope Francis.
