Bombs killed at least 27 people and injured 77 more during a church service today (January 27, 2019) in the Philippines, according to the Clarion Project website.
The twin blasts occurred at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Sulu Province, a stronghold of the Islamist Abu Sayyaf terror organization.
In the moments after the blast, regional governor Mujiv Hataman said Abu Sayyaf is the only group capable of this type of attack.
Prior to the formation of the IS (Islamic State) terror group, Abu Sayyaf pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda.
