Although police officers have investigated all the recent threats, none of the searches for bombs have found any devices. Nevertheless, security forces in Sao Paulo's metropolitan area are treating every threat as credible, as bombs detonated inside the subway system on 23 and 25 December 2006. One person died due to injuries sustained in the last explosion. So far, authorities have been unable to determine the perpetrators of the attacks or the motives behind them.
Philippines
Media reports issued on 8 January 2007 indicate that government officials are concerned that foreign terrorists may have entered the Philippines in December 2006 in an effort to attack the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Cebu. The media reportedly gained the information from a series of government documents seeking to verify the entry of several al Qaeda-linked militants into the country. No additional information on the documents or the alleged terrorists is available. The summit was initially scheduled to take place in December but was postponed, allegedly due to a typhoon. The summit is currently scheduled to occur on 11-14 January.
Although security officials claim that there is no specific information regarding a possible terrorist attack during the summit, they acknowledge that an attack remains a possibility. Approximately 10,000 police officers and military personnel have been deployed to secure Cebu. In addition, government officials announced a 20 mi/32 km no-fly zone around Mactan Cebu International Airport (RPVM/NOP), the Shangri-La resort and several more of the summit's venues for the duration of the conference. Road checkpoints have already been erected.
