Police said they thwarted plans to attack an airport, malls, a church and U.S. troops with the arrests of three members of a terrorist group who allegedly came to the Philippines to train militants to make bombs.
The two Indonesians and a Malaysian, all alleged Jemaah Islamiah members, were arrested in southern Zamboanga City in December, along with a Filipino member of the Abu Sayyaf extremist group. Bomb-making manuals, parts and money were seized, officials said.
