The metropolitan Manila police chief, Nicanor Bartolome, says police are trying to establish a motive for the blast in Manila's Taguig city and are interviewing other members of the 31-year-old woman's family.

Unwrapping the package apparently removed the pin from the grenade, triggering the blast. Bartolome says the woman died instantly. Kazinform cites China Daily. See www.chinadaily.com.cn
