Philippines: Grenade Kills 2, Injures 4 in Mosque Attack
--------------------------------------------------------

In the Philippines, a grenade thrown into a mosque killed two people and
wounded four Wednesday. The attack in the southern city of Zamboanga
came three days after twin bombings at a Roman Catholic cathedral on a
nearby island killed 21 people. The two attacks followed a local
referendum last week that showed overwhelming voter support for
increased autonomy for the Muslim-majority region of Mindanao.
