Security Tightens in Manila in Fear of Bombing Campaign

Security in and around Metro Manila has been tightened amid reports that extremists are planning a bombing campaign against civilian targets, security officials said Monday. Two bomb makers from the Rajah Solaiman Movement, a group of Christian converts to Islam, were believed to be hiding on the outskirts of Manila and could be constructing bombs, said the city’s military commander, Brig. Gen. Ben Dolorfino.
