MANILA, Philippines – An official says suspected extortionists opened fire on a passenger bus in the southern Philippines, wounding at least 11 people on board.
Regional military chief Lt. Gen. Benjamin Dolorfino says two gunmen attacked the bus late Saturday as it was traveling to Pagadian city in Zamboanga Sibugay province.
He said troops rushed to the scene to evacuate victims and track down the attackers. He said the driver was listed in serious condition Sunday at a local hospital.
Extortion gangs and Muslim rebels are known to operate in that part of the country's south. Much of the highway there has no street lights, making it dangerous for motorists to travel at night.
