ISABELA, Philippines, Apr 13: (AFP): Al Qaeda-linked militants in police uniforms set off bombs and fired at civilians on a strife-torn Philippine island Tuesday in violence that left 15 people dead, officials said.
The gunmen detonated two home-made bombs near a church and a school sports grandstand in Isabela city on Basilan island, which is blamed for the nation's worst terrorist attacks.
