Terrorists strike at cellular networks
Five northern Philippine provinces had their cellular networks disrupted following suspected terrorist attacks on the cellular infrastructure. However, the disruption was minimal after the networks were able to re-route traffic to adjacent cells. As the incident occurred at night, the network traffic was low, so no congestion problems were reported. A communist rebel group, the New People's Army is suspected of carrying out the attack, which resulted in the buildings being doused in gasoline and set on fire.
