The World : Philippine Bombing Arrest

An army captain who teaches demolition at the Philippine Military Academy was arrested as a suspect in a bombing that President Corazon Aquino described as an attempt to assassinate her, the armed forces chief said. Gen. Fidel V. Ramos, the military chief of staff, said that Capt. Wilhelm Doromal provided the “most likely and plausible lead” to the bombing last week that killed four people and wounded 43. An armed forces spokesman said that “workers in the area had implicated the captain.” Four other officers and 30 enlisted men at the academy at Baguio also have been taken in for questioning, investigators said.
