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.

菲律宾发生了惨绝人寰的与选举相关的大屠杀之后，政府加强了南部的安全戒备。今天早上，持枪分子袭击了马京达瑙省的车队，绑架了几十人。CNN报道称，被劫持者有的被奸杀，有的被虐待，甚至有的被斩首。家人称，死者中包括当地省长候选人的妻子和姐姐。
