Police search for an alleged terrorist in Laguna province have led them to a compound where they found parts of a bomb, Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno said.
Puno said members of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) were looking for one Khalid Pagayao when their search led them to the town of Alaminos and to the Al-imam compound where they found 550 pieces of improvised blasting caps, 25 pieces of time fuse, 2 pieces of detonating cord, and an undetermined amount of Tetryl compound.
Pagayao, who is being wanted for his alleged ties with the Southeast Asian terror network, Jemaah Islamiyah, was no longer in the area when the operatives arrived Tuesday night, said Puno.

2 seized in Santa Rosa on explosives charges (California)
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
A dispute in Santa Rosa between a soldier on leave from Iraq and his wife's boyfriend led authorities Monday to discover a cache of firearms and 350 pounds of fireworks and other explosives that resulted in the arrests of the wife and her boyfriend. Sonoma County authorities arrested Margaret Reily-Sabourin, 49, and Robert Didier, 51, on suspicion of making explosive devices at her home in the Wayside Mobile Home Park. The two are being held at the Sonoma County Jail with bail set at $50,000 each.
Authorities were responding to a call placed Monday morning by a 55-year-old Army National Guard soldier on leave from Iraq. The soldier, who is married to but estranged from Reily-Sabourin, asked sheriff's deputies to accompany him to a mobile home on Santa Rosa Avenue in order to pick up some personal items. The soldier, whom authorities did not identify, had been in a fight with Didier several days earlier.
At the home, authorities saw what appeared to be evidence of a fireworks and explosive device manufacturing operation. They obtained a search warrant and called the county's bomb squad. Deputies seized 250 pounds of fireworks and homemade bombs, and 100 pounds of explosive powders, said sheriff's Lt. Greg Contos. Authorities said they also seized six rifles, one of which appears to be an unregistered assault rifle, and two handguns from the residence. The findings prompted an evacuation of a portion of the mobile home park. Investigators said there was no evidence the couple planned a large-scale attack.
"This is not a terrorist cell or people with a big plan to blow something up," Contos said. "It's a couple of people making explosive devices for whatever reason that's undetermined at this time."
