MANILA - Philippines security forces have arrested three Malaysian men in an anti-terrorist sweep in the southern city of General Santos, the military said today.

Military and police intelligence units said the arrests resulted from a search of homes in General Santos on Saturday, including the residence of a naturalised Indonesian, Uskar Makawata, who was not detained.
