A bomb exploded during Christmas Day Mass at a chapel in the volatile southern Philippines, wounding a priest and 10 churchgoers.
The device was hidden near the ceiling of the chapel, which is on a compound where the provincial police office is located in Jolo town on Jolo Island, Sulu provincial police said.
The island is a stronghold of al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf militants, but it wasn't clear who was responsible for the bombing.
