CNN is reporting that a HUGE explosion occurred in Manila a few minutes ago. No other details.

The sad situation Bali combined with this tells me that the Al Queda cells are communicating and working on creating terroristic situations across the globe. I am afraid however, that they are diversionary for another large scale attack somewhere.

Yesterday there were disturbes in Caracas, Venezuela. The National Guard had to shoot a lot.

Yesterday there were war in Colombia in main cities against drug dealers and guerrilla. There were more than 200 deaths in a neighborhood.

Then the bomb in Manila.

Yesterday was terrible.

This is the second blast there in two days. The blast actually occurred in Zamboanga, near Manilla, which is a predominantly Christian city, with a population of 700,000 people.

In a newspaper in México City:

"Colombia, Afganistán, Irak, Corea, Filipinas, Indonesia, Chechenia, España, Balcanes, Finlandia... Washington. ¡Paren el mundo, que me quiero bajar!"

"Stop the world, I want to get off!"

Just saw a picture of the bus on CNN, really awful!

They (CNN) are saying that the FBI is warning that more attacks, including a well-planned one, are possible.

This is scary!
