ANOTHER BOMB BLAST IN CAPE TOWN

A BOMB exploded on Wednesday outside the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court in Cape Town, injuring two people. The bomb was placed at the entrance of the court, a member of the city’s rescue services said. He was unable to provide further details. Cape Town has been plagued by a series of bombings which police have blamed on the Muslim-led vigilante group People Against Gangsterism and Drugs. Two Pagad supporters were due to appear in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday afternoon following their arrest on December 31 for the alleged possession of a pipe bomb and a hand-grenade.
