Police confirm that the Dawlah Islamiyah has continued to recruit new members, particularly in outlying rural communities in Lanao del Sur.
MAGUINDANAO DEL NORTE, Philippines – Thousands of residents who were forced to evacuate the town of Marogong in Lanao del Sur on Saturday, May 27, due to escalating tension between government forces and an extremist group, remained hesitant to return despite assurances that the situation was now under control.
The threat came following the arrest of four young men accused by the military and police of being Dawlah Islamiyah members, and barely a week after the activation of Task Force Marawi to fight terrorists and other lawless groups. Troops from the regional police command led by Nobleza came on Sunday, May 28, to beef up Marogong town’s security.
