6 hostages killed by Maute for refusing to fight gov’t troops

By: Jeoffrey Maitem - @inquirerdotnetInquirer Mindanao / 04:01 PM July 09, 2017

Islamic State-inspired gunmen have killed at least six hostages in front of other captives after they refused to take up arms and fight government forces, the military said.

Lt. Col. Christopher Tampus, commander of the Philippine Army’s 1st Infantry Battalion, told reporters that the information about the execution was relayed by three hostages who escaped from their captors in the war zone.

“That’s what the gunmen inside are doing. They are forcing their hostages to take up arms against our troops,” Tampus said.

“We talked to three hostages, and that’s what they relayed to us,” he added.
The military official said the hostages were firing their guns toward patrolling troops in Lake Lanao.

“They were forced to do that. Six of the hostages were shot and killed in front of them that’s why they can’t do anything but follow the orders given to them,” he said.

Tampus’ team was tasked to secure the city hall, just 250 meters away from the main battle zone.

“The enemy’s resistance continues, but they have no more automatic fire… The resistance usually comes from snipers with grenade launcher fires,” he said.

Around 300 civilians and hostages are still in the war zone, according to Lt. Col. Jo-ar Herrera, Joint Task Force Marawi spokesman.

He said a total of 1,722 trapped civilians have been rescued by government troops since fighting started on May 23. SFM/rga

MINOR WHO WAS RECRUITED BY MAUTE BUT LEFT THE GROUP SHARED HIS STORY

- he was recruited when we has 12, he is not 17

- 3 foreigners and 1 Maranao recruited them

- they were around 40 minors who were recruited, the youngest was 7 years

- they were taught self-defense, Arabic language and even torture techniques

- they were fooled to believe that the training is for the Philippine Army and will be paid P15,000 monthly

- he was recruited when he was 12 but ran away from the group after 2 months after realizing that it was not indeed an Army training program the their recruiters claimed during the recruitment

- he said that the Maute group sneaked out a group of minors, via Lanao Lake, so that when they all die, these young warriors can carry on the terror attacks.

Islam is a religion of peace but selfish groups like ISIS are only quoting a few lines that they can use to fool followers and sympathizers.

President Duterte asked Congress to Extend Martial Law until December 31

Philippines' Duterte asks Congress to extend martial law
By TERESA CEROJANO, ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANILA, Philippines — Jul 18, 2017, 4:47 AM ET

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has asked Congress to extend martial law in the southern third of the country until the end of the year because the rebellion there will not be completely quelled by July 22, the end of his 60-day martial law proclamation, his spokesman said Tuesday.

Duterte declared martial law on May 23 following a bloody siege of the southern city of Marawi by Islamic State group-aligned militants, the most serious security crisis he has faced since assuming power in June last year.

In a letter to the Senate and the House of Representatives read by his spokesman Ernesto Abella, Duterte said that after consulting security officials, he has concluded that the rebellion in the south will not be quelled completely by July 22.

He asked Congress to extend martial law until Dec. 31.

Under the constitution, in case of invasion or rebellion, when public safety requires it, the president can declare martial law for no more than 60 days. He can ask Congress to extend such a proclamation to a period of time to be determined by the lawmakers.

More than 550 people, including 413 militants, have been killed in nearly two months of fighting in Marawi, a bastion of Islamic faith in the south.

U.S. Ambassador Sung Y. Kim said the United States will be sending two surveillance aircraft to help Philippine forces battling the militants in Marawi. The two Cessna 208 aircraft fitted with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance equipment "will be turned over to the Philippines in a couple of weeks," he told ABS-CBN News Channel.

"We're deeply concerned about the security situation in Marawi," Kim said. The U.S. has been providing munition, intelligence and surveillance equipment and special operations troops to advise the Philippine military in the south. It will also assist in rebuilding Marawi, he added.

Duterte met with lawmakers late Monday. He called for a special session of Congress, which is on break, on Saturday to tackle the proposed extension of martial law.

Congress opens its new regular session on July 24, when Duterte delivers his State of the Nation address.

Opposition lawmakers said they will oppose the extension and question its basis.

"It is totally not justified" and "just a whimsical misuse of power," said Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, adding that the military says the number of militants was down to 60.

"I have already forewarned the public of Duterte's authoritarian tendencies and this is further proof of it," he added.

Rep. Tom Villarin of the left-wing political party Akbayan said it was "a whimsical proposal that has no substantive grounds other than the president's wishes."
