Sabotage
BANGKOK: The Thai Government has confirmed that Saturday's explosion aboard a Thai Airways International's Boeing 737-400 aircraft was an act of sabotage, but reasons behind the incident were still undetermined, according to local TV news reports yesterday morning. Investigators said the explosion might have been an attempt to harm the prime minister but this was only one of several possibilities that would have to be investigated. Final conclusion of the investigation would still take few days to reach.
Peace policy
MANILA: Philippine President Gloria Arroyo yesterday issued an Executive Order which defines the policy and administrative structure for the government's comprehensive peace efforts at home. Analysts say Arroyo's peace-seeking policy is comprehensively designed not only to seek peaceful settlement of the decades-old ethnic conflict in the southern part of the country, but also to secure political stability nationwide, so as to "heal and build the nation" that Arroyo inherited from her ousted predecessor Joseph Estrada.
