Bomb kills 1, injures 15 in cafe in southern Philippines

MANILA - A bomb blast killed one person and injured 15 in an internet cafe in the southern Philippines on Sunday, in the second such attack in days blamed by the military on pro-Islamic State militants.

Isulan, a mostly Christian city on southern Mindanao island, was placed on lockdown to hunt down those behind the attack, Brigadier General Cirilito Sobejana, an army division commander, told reporters.

No group claimed responsibility. "Most likely it's still the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF)," the commander said.
