Philippines Foils Terrorist Attack

The BBC are reporting on a foiled plot by Muslims to blow up Catholics.

Philippine police say they stopped a planned suicide attack on a crowded Roman Catholic festival by arresting 16 suspected Muslim militants and seizing three homemade bombs on Friday. [ If these guys don't qualify for terrorists, who does? .ed]

The arrests come two days ahead of a religious procession in Manila attended by thousands of people every year on 9 January.

Police made the arrests after a raid on a building in Manila.

They said three improvised bombs, a sub-machine gun with a silencer and other weapons were also seized.

Police acted on intelligence reports of a plan for a suicide attack at the religious festival, the Feast of the Black Nazarene.


Ah yes, Islam, the religion of peace.
