The leader "Islamic state" * killed in the Philippines

The South China Morning Post reports that the leader of the local branch of the Islamic State (terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation - ed.) Has been destroyed in the Philippines. The extremist group that exists in the Philippines is called Mauth. According to the country's Defense Minister Delfin Lorenzan, “the self-proclaimed leader "Islamic state"Was eliminated as a result of a military operation lasting several months. Left without a commander, members of the group were scattered.

Information that the leader of the militants eliminated, appeared in March. This happened after the armed clashes in Taberan (a town near Maravi). However, the messages were questioned. Now they are dispelled. Information confirmed by American experts. This required a DNA examination.

The slain Abu Dara was found abandoned near the scene of the fighting. He was fatally wounded in the back, and it is possible that the terrorist was initially hit by a helicopter’s missile attack, as his face was burned.

Abu Dar admitted as emir's successor "Islamic state" in the territory of South-East Asia Isnilon Hapilon. This leader of a terrorist group was killed during a battle for Maravi two years ago. The fighting there began in May 2017, after the capture of the city by terrorists. During the five months of the fighting, more than 900 terrorists and 160 soldiers and policemen died in them.
