On 4 March 2003, a bomb exploded at Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao City, Mindanao, Philippines, killing 21 people.[1][2]

At 5:20 pm on 4 March 2003, a bomb in a backpack exploded in the busy waiting area of Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao City on the Philippine island Mindanao.[1][2] It killed 21 people, injured over 100 others and caused substantial damage to the building.[1][2]

The Islamic secessionist militant group Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) are suspected of this bombing as well as other attacks.[1][2] The MILF, who were one of the belligerents in the Moro conflict, demanding autonomy for the Moro people, said they were not the perpetrators.[1][2]
