OMAR MAUTE IS LIKELY DEAD

Omar Maute, one of the two founding members of the Maute terrorist group, is likely dead, Armed Forces of the Philippines chief Gen. Eduardo Año said on Thursday.

Omar’s brother, Abdullah, is reportedly alive and is still in Marawi City, the AFP chief told reporters on the sidelines of the trilateral meeting of Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia in Manila.

“Si Omar mukhang patay na talaga (Omar is likely dead). Si Abdullah is still alive, still there,” Año said.

The two brothers led the terrorists who laid siege to Marawi City, which entered its 30th day on Thursday.
Reports of the death of Omar from one of the airstrikes carried out by the military circulated in early June.

Maute has been cornered, area they control has been reduced, no way of escaping


AFP says terrorists cornered as fighting enters fifth week

By: Allan Nawal, Jeannette I. Andrade, Nikko Dizon, Richel Umel - @inquirerdotnetPhilippine Daily Inquirer / 12:37 AM June 23, 2017

MARAWI CITY—Islamic State (IS)-linked terrorists holed up here have been cornered and their firepower is flagging, but the military cannot say when the crisis will end.

The battle for Marawi enters its fifth week on Friday, with the 400-500 gunmen from the Maute terrorist group and their allies from the Abu Sayyaf bandit group who seized the city on May 23 just “a little more than 100” now, Lt. Col. Jo-Ar Herrera, spokesperson for the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, told reporters on Thursday.

“Their area has been reduced to 1 square kilometer,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Tampus, commander of the Philippine Army’s 1st Infantry Battalion.

Tampus’ troops were blocking escape routes across bridges spanning a river to the west of the terrorists. “Our forces are coming from the east and the north and we are blocking the three bridges,” he said.


No deadline

But Herrera, in a talk with reporters on Wednesday, could not give a categorical answer to the question when the crisis would end.

“There is no timetable, there is no deadline. What we are doing is [making] sure that the city is safe again by clearing it of the terrorists,” he said.

Herrera insisted that the terrorists’ firepower was flagging, but Tampus on Thursday said his troops were having difficulty moving forward.

He said snipers were still firing from “strategic nests” in schools and mosques, and homemade bombs were hampering the progress of his troops as they advanced house to house.

Tampus said he had seen at least five civilians dressed in black who appeared to have been forced to stand in the street as human shields.

According to official estimates late on Wednesday, more than 360 people have been killed during the month of hostilities—268 terrorists, 66 soldiers and policemen, and 26 civilians.

Four hundred sixty-one soldiers have been wounded in the street-to-street gun battles.

Isnilon could have escaped after realizing he lost the fight

This is a big blow to ISIS. They failed to conquer Marawi despite fielding foreign fighters including Arabs, Indonesians, Malaysians and Europeans.

They realized that the military's strategy is too much for them to handle.

Isnilon lost half of his men. Reports said around 300 Maute/ISIS have been killed.

This is a big blow to ISIS since it is now desperate to have a base here in ASEAN after losing its face in the Middle East. The 3 ASEAN main players, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines have joined forces to combat ISIS.

Also, only Marawi City is the possible site but since they failed, ISIS has lost its chance to set up a base here.

The military must do all it can to hunt and neutralize Isnilon and its sub-leaders.

The military must also work on the BIFF, who also pledge allegiance to ISIS.
