Four captured Maute militants killed in ambush
 [Rappler] At least four Maute militants died early Saturday evening after an ambush on a police convoy that was supposed to bring them to Cagayan de Oro City.According to a police report, the convoy was at the boundary of Balo-i and Pantar towns in the province of Lanao del Norte when they were ambushed by an "unknown group." At least three policemen were reportedly wounded as a result of the ambush. Four Maute militants were reportedly brought to a nearby hospital for treatment, but pictures taken right after the attack show at least one dead body on a police vehicle. A source confirmed that the convoy was transporting Maute militants who were arrested Thursday night, along with Farhana Maute, the mother of the Maute brothers who are among the leaders of the attack in Marawi City. Top defense officials confirmed it during a press conference in Cagayan de Oro City on Sunday. Farhana had been immediately moved out of Lanao del Sur last Friday. Posted by: ryuge 2017-06-12 |
