Two bombs in a Catholic cathedral in the southern Philippines have left 20 people dead and dozens injured. The first explosion occurred during Sunday's mass, in the Yolo church, where Islamic militants are very active.
During the soldiers' intervention, a second device was found in a car parking lot.
The attack comes days after the vote for full autonomy in the majority Muslim area.
No one has taken responsibility for the attack yet. Jolo has long been a base for militants. Most of the victims are civilians. (REL)
