PHILIPPINES - PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

One More Yellow Bus Bombed (Sept. 19, 2007)

GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- Another unit of Yellow Bus Line Inc. (YBL) was bombed around 10:45 a.m. Tuesday at the company terminal in Koronadal City (also known as Marbel), pulling a fast one on the bus management that has set up strict security measures, and the military, which has just formed the Task Force Marbel last week.

Tuesday's attack was the fourth for the company, which implemented stricter security measures following the August 3 twin bombings that killed a pastor and injured 14 others.

In the past, authorities and bus management have blamed extortionists calling themselves as the Al Khobar group for the attacks. http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/net/2007/09/19/1.more.yellow.bus.bombed.in.marbel.html
