No one was injured in the series of five explosions at dawn Sunday at the relay station at Mount Santo Tomas, near Tuba in Benguet Province, 130 miles north of Manila, a Philippine military spokesman said.The attack was the first against a U.S. facility since communist rebels threatened to damage American installations and killed three U.S. servicemen in October 1987, charging they supported Manila's anti-insurgency campaigns.
