The Philippine defense chief has announced the capture of three suspected Muslim militants he says are responsible for a Sept 2 bombing that killed 15 people and prompted the president to declare a state of lawlessness to counter terrorism in the country, ABC News reported on Friday.

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said Friday that the three suspects possessed a cellphone video of the bombing, which wounded 69 people at a night market in southern Davao city, and the bloody aftermath. 

He said the suspects were arrested recently carrying bomb-making materials at a security checkpoint in southern Cotabato city.
