Manila, Aug 24 (TIWN) At least 10 were killed, including a suicide bomber, and 40 others injured in twin blasts in the Philippines' Sulu province on Monday, the army said.

The first bomb detonated at around noon local time along a main street in the town of Jolo in Sulu province, around 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) south of Manila.  At least five soldiers and four civilians were killed, regional military commander Lieutenant General Corleto Vinluan said. Initial army reports said the source of the first blast was a homemade bomb on a parked motorcycle.  The explosion damaged a food and computer store as well as two army trucks, military spokesman Rex Payot and police said.  The second blast, carried out by a female suicide attacker, went off nearby shortly after the first explosion, as police blocked off the area. The bomber and a soldier were killed and several bystanders were injured.   A third, unexploded bomb was reportedly found in a public market.  Nearly 40 soldiers, police and civilians were injured in the blasts. No group has yet claimed responsibility.
