One person was killed in a bombing directed at the Philippine Congress; no one is talking about it, but it’s highly likely this was an Abu Sayyaf attack.

MANILA (Reuters) - A powerful explosion rocked the Philippine Congress on Tuesday night killing one person and injuring several others, including three lawmakers, a senior politician said.

The blast destroyed the ceiling of the south entrance to the Batasan complex as members of the lower house were leaving after the final session, shortly after 8 p.m. (1200 GMT).

Jose de Venecia, speaker of the House of Representatives, told reporters that a driver of a female lawmaker was killed in the blast. The lawmaker was injured.

It began with lyrics, but even looking at the PMRC fund raising letter in the last paragraph, at the bottom of the page, it starts looking like it's branching into other areas when it says 'We realize that this material's pervaded other aspects of society' and it's like 'What, you gonna fix it all for me?'
