Manila (dpa) -Police chemists found traces of C-4 explosive component in the rubble of an upscale shopping mall in the Philippine capital on Saturday that was bombed a day earlier.
The chemists presented their findings to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and top security officials in a briefing on the deadly attack at Glorietta shopping centre in the financial district of Makati that killed nine people and injured 113 on Friday.
The chemists identified the C-4 component found in the rubble as RDX, or royal demolition explosive, which is the main explosive material in C-4.
C-4 is a common variety of military plastic explosive, which can easily be molded into any desired shape. It is well known for its durability, reliability and safety.
No group has claimed responsibility for Friday's attack.
National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales sought people's full cooperation in stricter measures the police will be implementing to prevent a repeat of the incident.
Arroyo has cancelled her scheduled trip to the central Philippine cities of Ormoc and Tacloban in the aftermath of the bombing.
