Philippine Army Says Finds Bombs for Easter Attack

By Manny Mogato
MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippine military said on Wednesday it arrested a suspected Muslim militant and found bombs believed to have been stashed for attacks in Manila during this week's Easter celebrations.

Security forces are on full alert as tens of millions of Filipinos pray, shop and travel during one of the biggest annual holidays in the largely Roman Catholic country.

The military said it had foiled "a major plan" by Abu Sayyaf rebels to attack the capital of 12 million people by arresting the suspect, a convert to Islam identified as Tyron Santos, in Manila's Quezon City district on Tuesday.

Santos led soldiers to 10 sacks of explosives and 18 improvised bombs at an abandoned house, it said in a statement. A computer, video camera and several tapes were also seized.
