The family of a 14-year-old boy who shot two people dead at a mall in Bangkok apologised Friday for their son's actions, in a statement released by the Thai government.
MANILA : An anonymous bomb threat that prompted the Philippines to put all its commercial airports on heightened security alert is"most likely a hoax", the aviation police chief said on Friday night.
Extra police and canine patrols were deployed at Manila terminals as part of"immediate enhanced security measures" at airports, authorities said, adding the threat was being verified. In a memo dated Oct. 4 but released to media on Friday, the CAAP referred to a screenshot of the emailed threat, which did not contain the word"bomb" but said"an airplane will explode" at Manila's international airport and"please beware".One of the region's most popular beach destinations, Cebu saw more than 1 million domestic and foreign travellers last year, while Bicol in the central Philippines saw nearly 5 million, according to the tourism department.
