Philippine police find explosive devices outside embassy
[This is the print version of story http://www.abc.net.au/ra/news/stories/s1332088.htm] Last Updated 27/03/2005, 11:47:22 Police in the Philippines have found and defused explosive devices outside the Spanish embassy building in the capital, Manila. As Peter Lloyd reports an Easter weekend terrorist alert remains in force amid concern that Islamic extremists may be planning to carry out attacks on Christian celebrations. Reports from Manila say that ten members of regional terror group Jemaah Islamiyah along with members of local extremists the Abu Sayyef may be planning bomb attacks in Manila. The warning was issued after the arrest of an Indonesian member of JI who claimed a terrorist plot for the later stages of March was unfolding in several cities. 15 thousand police officers are guarding key installations and churches across the capital. Australia's Foreign Affairs department updated its travel advisory in response to reports that terrorists may be in the final stages of planning an attack. It went close to telling Australians to avoid travel to the Philippines. The US and Britain have issued similar advisories.
