Here you to the Philippines now where the government is ramping up security in the south after a gruesome, frankly shocking election-related massacre, gunmen attacked a convoy earlier this morning in Maguindanao, abducting scores of people. A horrifying CNN sued as the kidnappers reportedly raped, tortured and even beheaded members of the group. Family members say the wife of a local candidate for governor, and one of his sister are among the dead.

菲律賓發生了慘絕人寰的與選舉相關的大屠殺之后，政府加強了南部的安全戒備。今天早上，持槍分子襲擊了馬京達瑙省的車隊，綁架了幾十人。CNN報道稱，被劫持者有的被奸殺，有的被虐待，甚至有的被斬首。家人稱，死者中包括當地省長候選人的妻子和姐姐。
