SUNDAY’S ATTACKS in the largely Christian southern city of General Santos came as the United States beefed up its military presence in the Philippines to help train local troops in repelling foreign aggression and combating terror.
The arrests brought to five the number of suspected Muslim militants accused in the blasts in a shopping mall parking garage and in a residential area.
The three were arrested in pre-dawn raids in General Santos where police seized about nine pounds of bomb-making materials, regional police chief Colonel Bartolome Baluyot said, adding he hoped to make more arrests soon.
“We are looking into the possibility that they might have a connection with groups like al-Qaida,” Baluyot said, referring to the network the United States blames for the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
The first two suspected militants arrested on Tuesday, Bobby Sabilo and Mulikin Adam Ambi, have been charged with multiple murder and illegal possession of explosives and police are preparing the same charges against the three captured on Wednesday, Baluyot said......
