Philippine update

The food poisonings of all those poor school kids was apparantly due to contamination from organophosphate insecticide...

Probably accidentally mixed, since although the cook did not die, two of her grandchildren did.

Second, Belmont club has a report on the AbuSaif prison break attempt...
The good news is that two notorious leaders were killed. The bad news is that they will probably retaliate, and the Holyweek/Easter holidays are this week, so lots of people taking buses, ferries, and airplanes home to the provinces....(abu saif has bombed all three at one time or another).

Greg Sheridan has the background on this group....
