Santiago:
Two men and a woman were arrested early Thursday on suspicion of involvement in a recent attack on a subway station in the Chilean capital, police said.
Fourteen people were wounded when a homemade bomb rocked a food court inside the packed Santiago station at lunch time on September 8.
The government has deemed the attack a "terrorist act" in what is considered by many to be the safest capital in Latin America.
According to a probe carried out by the police and prosecutors, the three suspects were allegedly involved in the placement of the bomb.
The arrests occurred as part of an operation ordered by the prosecutor's office in the densely populated La Pintana neighborhood as festivities got underway for Chile's independence day, Radio Cooperativa reported.
The trio was taken to a police station in eastern Santiago, a spokesman told AFP.
