MANILA , REUTERS
A column of British-made armored personnel carriers rumbled into military headquarters in Manila yesterday as the Philippines prepared for tomorrow's inauguration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo this week.
Security forces are on alert after a group suspected of links to the political opposition planted three explosive devices in Manila last week in an apparent move to undermine Arroyo, who the opposition says cheated her way to victory in May 10 elections.
Eight Simba armored personnel carriers were brought in from an army base north of the capital to reinforce security forces in Manila, said military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Lucero.
