From InterAksyon (Sep 1): Car bomb found at NAIA3, four suspects arrested - authorities

Four people were arrested after a bomb was found in a van parked at Manila's international airport, authorities said Monday.

The utility vehicle containing an "improvised explosive device" was found at the airport's terminal three car park at about 1:45 a.m. (1745 GMT) Monday, said a short report released by the National Bureau of Investigation.

Initial police reports said that the suspects were arrested while their vehicle, a white Toyota Revo with plate number WMK129, was parked at the terminal’s parking area B.

Sources said that the apprehended vehicle contained several gallons of gasoline and explosive materials.

"Four suspects were arrested," said the report, which was released by the airport's media affairs office.

The report gave no other details, and did not identify the suspects or say if the bomb had been safely dealt with.

The terminal, which for many years served only domestic flights but recently also began hosting international airlines, was operating as normal on Monday morning.

Airport authorities declined to comment on the incident as they said follow-up operations are ongoing.
