Iran Press/ Iran news: Saeed Khatibzadeh on Monday condemned a terrorist attack in the southern Philippine city of Jolo that killed and injured a number of innocent civilians.
Two powerful explosions ripped through heavily populated areas of a southern Philippine island on Monday, killing at least 14 people and wounding 75 others in a known stronghold of the extremist group Abu Sayyaf.
There was a heavy explosion around noon near the town plaza on Jolo Island.
Not long after, a second explosion — set off by a suicide bomber, an official said — hit near the Cathedral of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
Early last year, a suicide bombing at the same cathedral killed at least 23 people just as worshipers were gathering for Sunday Mass.
