Authorities raid hotel in Manila
TOKYO -- U.S. and Philippine authorities raided a hotel in the Philippines Friday in connection with the terrorist attacks in the United States, Philippines President Gloria Arroyo said.
Arroyo, speaking at a Tokyo news conference, said the ''joint action'' was taken at the Bayview Hotel, which is near the U.S. Embassy in Manila.
Arroyo, who was on an official visit to Japan, did not elaborate.
In 1995, a suspect in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing was arrested at the Bayview. Arroyo said evidence from that case has been handed over to the United States, but it was unclear whether there was any connection.
