Philippine security officials uncovered a plot by Jemaah Islamiyah to assassinate President Gloria Arroyo and three other unnamed officials. Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah Islamiyah are also believed to be plotting attacks against high-value targets in Manilla. The plot caused the military to go on full alert.
