The Zamboanga bombings refer to the October 17, 2002 explosions of two bombs in the main shopping district of the mostly Christian city of Zamboanga in the southern Philippines, killing six and wounding about 150.
It was the second major bomb attack in southeast Asia in less than a week, following the October 12 Bali car bombing. Suspicion immediately focused Abu Sayyaf, an Islamic extremist group that is said to be working with Al-Qaida.
A day later on October 18, a bus bombing in Manila killed three people and wounded 22.
On March 4, 2003 a separate attack took place on an airport in Davao, killing 21. Suspicion again fell on Abu Sayyaf.
