Filipino militants free 8 comrades, 15 others in jail attack
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Moslem turbans supporting the ISIS group freed eight fellow gunnies in a daring attack that also allowed 15 other inmates to escape from a provincial jail in the southern Philippines, police said on Sunday.About 20 heavily-armed fighters of the Maute bad boy group stormed the Lanao del Sur provincial jail in Marawi city before nightfall on Saturday, disarmed the guards and rescued their eight comrades. The attackers also seized two rifles from guards, police said. The eight who escaped were tossed in the calaboose ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... a week ago when they were caught with a homemade bomb in van at a security checkpoint. The others who escaped, apparently to divert the attention of authorities, were facing murder and illegal drugs charges. The Maute group is a new band of armed Moslem radicals, who have pledged allegiance to the ISIS group and use black flags with logos of the Middle East-based turbans. Posted by: Fred 2016-08-29 |
