Philippine airstrikes target ISIS-linked militants near Marawi
[Ynet] A Philippine military official says  s and ground assaults have targeted a group of Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group-linked holy warriors, including their leader, who helped lead a five-month siege in southern Marawi city last year. Army Col. Romeo Brawner says the military received reports that at least five murderous Moslems were killed in Sunday's offensive but the deaths haven't been confirmed. The offensive sparked gunbattles between troops and the forces of Evil in mountainous areas of Lanao del Sur province. Hundreds of villagers fled from nearby towns as the offensive got underway. Brawner said Monday the offensive targeted about 40 murderous Moslems led by Owayda Benito Marohombsar, who uses the nom de guerre Abu Dar. He was among those who led the attack on Marawi, but managed to escape before troops quelled the uprising in October. Posted by: trailing wife 2018-06-19 |
