At least six people were killed and 11 wounded in a bomb explosion in the southern Philippines.
Police said the explosion occurred at the bus terminal in Kidapawan City in North Cotobato province. One woman and a child were killed instantly; the other four died in hospital, police said.
At least 11 people were wounded in the powerful blast, which also damaged two buses, the police said.
Last week, a powerful bomb ripped through a karaoke bar and restaurant in southern Zamboanga City, killing a US soldier and two Filipino civilians.
Authorities blamed the Abu Sayyaf, a guerrilla group that Washington linked to the al-Qaeda network of Osama bin Laden.
