PNP: Metro bombing thwarted with suspects' arrest (underreported story)

The Philippine National Police on Tuesday said the alleged plot to sow terror in Metro Manila similar to the September 11 bombings in the United States has been thwarted with the arrest of three suspects over the weekend.

"Alam naman nating lahat na ang target talaga is Metro Manila so nagpakalat na kami ng information. (An all-out information campaign was conducted because we all know that Metro Manila is a prime target)," PNP chief Director General Oscar Calderon told a DZMM interview.

Police and military agents nabbed Razak Macarimbang, Wahad Sandigan and Sammy Gampong before boarding a SuperFerry vessel bound for Manila on Sunday. Authorities seized two improvised bombs from the suspects at Polloc port in Maguindanao.

Police linked the suspects to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Calderon, however, said that MILF spokesman Eid Kabalu has denied that the suspects belong to the group.

Calderon said Macarimbang, Sandigan and Gampong are now detained at a military camp in Cotabato.

Reports over the weekend said two bombers have slipped past security and are planning to attack for the 9/11 anniversary.

The National Capital Region Police Office had initially denied receiving intelligence reports about the supposed bombing plot.

Reynaldo Varilla, NCRPO chief, however, said that policemen will remain on alert.
