No worries. They were probably creationists. And maybe even right-wing extremists.
"Philippines church bomb blast kills five," by Anne Barrowclough for the Times Online, July 5 (thanks to all who sent this in):
Islamist militants have been blamed for a bomb blast in the Philippines today which killed at least five people and wounded dozens more.
The bomb exploded outside the Immaculate Conception cathedral in Cotabato city, 545 miles (880 kilometers) south of Manila, as church-goers celebrated Mass.
A woman selling roast pork was killed on the spot while four others, including a soldier and three-year-old boy, died in a nearby hospital. Among the wounded were five soldiers who were passing the cathedral in an army van when the device, fashioned from a mortar round, exploded said army spokesman Colonel Jonathan Ponce.
"This is the handiwork of the rogue members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)," Colonel Ponce told reporters, referring to the Muslim organisation which has waged a decades long battle for self rule in the southern island of Mindanao.
The improvised explosive was hidden near a row of food stalls selling roasted pig, said regional military commander Major General Cayton.
Witnesses said the bishop celebrating mass had just finished reading the gospel and was about to begin his homily when an explosion was heard.
"The explosion was so loud as if the cathedral was about to collapse," Merly Sandoval, a churchgoer, told a local radio station.
"It was like loud and frightening thunder. People inside the packed cathedral ran towards the altar. Outside, everybody was screaming, there was so much blood on the ground."...
