Batasan Complex Bomb Explosion Attack
The Glorieta Bombing is still an unresolved case until now and here again the government has been attacked by some terrorist acts. Beside of the tight security at the Batasang Pambansa Complex in the House of Representatives, why would still the bomber can still penetrate inside the building to plant the bomb? That is very questionable for me… I really thought even a fire cracker shouldn’t get inside but what happened we have another explosion. I just hope this is not an inside job to destabilize the government, because if that really is the case then we especially the Government should take a thorough investigation to solve this case.
Update:
The explosion killed three people, including Basilan Rep. Wahab Akbar, and injured at least seven others.
ABS-CBN News – Several people, including two congressmen, were injured following the explosion at the Batasang Pambansa complex in Quezon City Tuesday night.
