Three bomb blasts rocked the southern Philippines, killing at least seven people and wounding 29, officials said, amid warnings that Muslim militants might try to disrupt twin Asian regional summits this weekend.
The first explosion killed six people when it ripped apart a lottery outlet in General Santos city, said its police chief, Senior Supt. Alfredo Toroctocon.
The second explosion occurred in Kidapawan city, about 65 miles north of the first blast, police said.
The third rocked Cotabato city, about 105 miles northwest of General Santos, killing a garbage collector, police said.
