SANTIAGO – Chile’s Carabineros militarized police force arrested three suspects Thursday in connection with the July 12 and Sept. 8 bombings that wounded 14 people in the Santiago Metro, Bio Bio radio reported.
Two men and a woman were arrested as suspects in the investigation led by South Region prosecutor Raul Guzman.
More than 200 Carabineros officers participated in the operation, searching six houses in the cities of La Granja, San Bernardo and La Pintana.
Three young people with anarchist leanings were detained around 2:30 a.m., police spokesmen in La Pintana said.
One of the suspects was behind the attacks on the Los Dominicos and Escuela Militar Metro stations, and a bombing near a Carabineros station on Aug. 11, police said.
Carabineros officers raided the residences and made the arrests after receiving tips about possible new attacks on Thursday, when Chile celebrates Independence Day with a religious ceremony at the Metropolitan Cathedral, and during a military parade at O’Higgins Park on Friday.
Security was tighter than usual Thursday around Santiago’s Metropolitan Cathedral, with both police officers and army troops deployed in the area.
The government said last week it would prosecute as terrorists those responsible for the attack that wounded 14 people in a business district near the Escuela Militar Metro station.
