A man set fire to a casino in the Philippines today, causing thirty eight deaths, including his own.

Government officials hesitated to call the fire a terrorist attack, but the 45th US President immediately tweeted that it was terrorism.

The fire comes in the midst of a week of martial law in one part of the Philippines.

KBOO’s Jenka Soderberg spoke with local organizer Drew Alazarday-Miller for more on this developing story.
