Manila, Philippines ? Police said Saturday they raided a suspected terrorist training camp linked to al-Qaida and seized several weapons after arresting seven men in a clash nearby.

The clash occurred Thursday in Anda, in Pangasinan province north of Manila, and police found the camp the next day in an Islamic school in a mountainous area in neighboring Tarlac province.

The clash came one day after a gunfight that broke out when police investigating a report of armed men came under fire. One gunman was killed and another was arrested; police say he told them the group had been sent to cause havoc in Tarlac city on the May Day holiday Wednesday.

Those arrested Friday were presented to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo when she visited the police command Saturday in Pangasinan. Police said they were new recruits who had been linked to the gunmen in Wednesday’s clash.

Two suspected training camp caretakers also were arrested nearby.

Police said they confiscated high-caliber firearms, two grenades, a grenade launcher, a revolver and several unspecified documents.

Officials did not describe the suspected ties between those arrested and Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network.
