PHILIPPINES: Attempted rebellion against Arroyo ends
Updated
Philippine police and army troops have stormed a luxury hotel which had been taken over by dozens of armed renegade soldiers. They've fired tear gas into the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel, forcing the rebels to surrender. The soldiers, accused of a failed mutiny in 2003, occupied the hotel after breaking out of court where they were on trial. They set themselves up in the hotel lobby, calling on President Gloria Arroyo to quit. Minutes before the elite troops stormed the hotel, we spoke to mutiny leader Senator Trillanes.
