Philippine church bombing may have been suicide attack, says Duterte

MANILA - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on Tuesday (Jan 29) twin explosions that killed 20 people in a church on a southern island at the weekend may have been a suicide attack, citing a briefing given to him by military commanders.

Duterte's comments run counter to statements by military and police officials on Tuesday, who said the bombs inside and outside of the church in Jolo appeared to have been detonated remotely.

Security camera footage of suspects believed to have planted the bombs has been shown to media.
