A bomb attack at the Philippines House of Representatives, which killed two people, was probably only meant for legislator Wahab Akbar.

I heard the news today. After the Glorietta bombing, I thought it was another Muslim terrorist attack but with this incident in the Batasan Complex, it doesn't sound like a Muslim terrorism at all, it was more like a political attack.

After the Glorietta bombing, ...
Glorietta 2 explosion seems to be accidental and not a bombing. No bomb parts, nor explosives, nor detonation system found so far in the basement of the mall.

They say that the glorietta mall bombing is from a methane gas explosion and as well as in the Batasan a methane gas explosion... Kindda weird of having just the same result.:cwm12:

Sorry but it's totally different:
1) Glorietta seems to be an explosion linked to a methane gas accumulation in the basement linked to waste water decomposition,
2) Batasan seems to be an explosion of a gaz bottle (LPG?) linked with explosives remotely detonated.

There is "gas" in both but they are totally different, there's no methane in Batasan but surely LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) which is very common in the Philippines (IE Shellane).
