ZAMBOANGA CITY: The SITE Intelligence Group, a US terrorism monitor, reported on Saturday that Islamic State (IS)-inspired militants attacked the houses of apostates in Basilan and allegedly killed them. It was not known how many people were killed or whether the victims were all Muslims. There was no immediate statement both from the Philippine military and police on the reported attacks. Mujiv Hataman of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao also told the regional newspaper Minda­nao Examiner, “We have no reports about it. Maybe it’s just IS propaganda,” he told the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.
