Three suspected foreign terrorists arrested last month in connection with an alleged plot to bomb embassies in Manila are in military intelligence custody and are undergoing interrogation. Regional al Qaeda-linked terrorists are benefiting from the illicit sale of counterfeit cigarettes, medicines, CDs, and DVDs.
