Filipinos clamoring for justice for Glorietta 2 blast victims

This just in:

National Police chief Director General Avelino Razon Jr on Tuesday said foreign explosives experts who conducted their own investigation into the October 19 blast at Glorietta 2 in Makati City have ruled out any bomb angle behind the incident.

Interviewed on the sidelines of an antiterrorism drill at Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig City, Razon said President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo had been briefed on the reports submitted by the explosives experts from Australia, Israel and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

“Based on the evidence and the facts that were gathered from the scene…edivence shows that it (blast) was an accidental gas explosion,” Razon told reporters.

So if it was a gas leak, what triggered it? What about the traces of RDX? Can a gas leak really cause such a huge explosion? We need answers!!

I think, if it’s a gas leak, it can result to such things. But then again, people could always say that it was just an accident to hide the real fact that it was bombed. Likewise they can always say it was bombed to hide the fact of their mistakes.
