Manila, Jan. 07 (CWNews.com) - Police in the Philippines say that they have foiled plans by terrorists to bomb a Catholic festival in Manila, the Reuters news service reports.
Police arrested 16 Islamic militants and seized homemade bombs that they were allegedly planning to use in a suicide attack on an annual street festival that draws thousands of believers on the feast of the "Black Nazarene," when pious Catholics to an ancient image of Jesus Christ that is reputed to have miraculous powers.
The Muslims arrested by police denied planning a terrorist attack; they claimed that authorities had planted the bombs in their possession.
"How was your day, dear"?
"OK. I wired up another 16 bombs".
Murder and mayhem is a way of life for these people.
I guess what I am asking is since they loved us, unlike European ingrates, what happened?
BTTT
Um... nope... nope... Can't say I object to planting evidence against terrorists even if that is what happened.
