Anger high in Hong Kong after Philippine bus hijacking


The bodies of eight tourists arrive home as the city continues to mourn. Residents are urged not to blame Filipinos living in Hong Kong.

The bodies of eight Hong Kong tourists killed in a bus hijacking siege in the Philippines were returned home Wednesday on a government-chartered flight as the city of 7 million pulsated with anger and frustration.

Henry Tang, Hong Kong's chief secretary for administration, placed white wreaths on the caskets as bagpipers played. Several survivors of Monday's hostage drama and family members of the slain victims were also on the plane home. One seriously injured teenager remained in a Manila hospital, and a female gunshot victim was to be transported home on a separate medical flight.
