The attack would not derail attempts to get peace talks back on line with insurgent groups in the far South. The bomb was hidden on a motorcycle that was parked by a pork vendor's stall and exploded shortly after the rider hurried off. At least two people were involved, with one designating the place for the rider to park the bike, he said.
