Abandoned Baggage Triggers Panic Inside Davao Mall

DAVAO CITY, Philippines (Mindanao Examiner / September 15, 2008) – An abandoned baggage suspected to contain a bomb had caused panic inside a shopping mall in the southern Philippine city of Davao, police said Saturday.

Police said shoppers rushed out of the New City Commercial Center for fear the baggage had a bomb, but its contents turned out to be pieces of broken wires and stones.

It was unknown how the baggage was able to pass through the mall security guards, but police blamed pranksters as behind it. Davao City had been previously bombed by suspected Abu Sayyaf militants and Moro Islamic Liberation Front rebels. (Romy Bwaga)
