Raids were carried out at various locations in the capital on Sunday and Monday, during which 12 hand grenades, materials for preparing explosives and the equivalent of $250,000 cash were retrieved.
A man had been initially arrested at his home. He had fired on a police officer, causing injury, before he was arrested. Following his arrest four more people were apprehended. Three were found in a villa and the fourth at a hotel. The four did not resist arrest.
