ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines -- Four people were killed by a bomb they had fished out of the sea off Zamboanga City, police said Friday.

The fishermen brought the bomb back to their home in the coastal village of Rio Hondo near here and tried to pry the casing open, triggering a blast that leveled the house and killed all four.

Zamboanga City police said two other people were injured and that the ordnance appeared to date from World War II.
