Apartment of Love Bug suspect raided

Posted: Monday, May 08, 2000

MANILA, Philippines -- Philippine investigators today raided the apartment of a suspect believed to be linked to the ''ILOVEYOU'' computer virus and found computer magazines, diskettes and other equipment, officials said.

The investigators, who had a search warrant, cordoned off the street around the apartment in Manila's Pandacan district. They said they could not comment further until the search was complete.

The man and woman who owned the apartment were out at the time of the raid, but the man later returned and denied any involvement with the virus, local radio reports said. He was taken in for questioning, officials said. Two other people also lived in the apartment, neighbors said.

National Bureau of Investigation officers said earlier today that the suspect was the woman living in the apartment that was raided. Police were searching for her.
