Two teens claiming IS ties surrender to Cotabato mayor
|
 [PhilStar] Two teens claiming to be Islamic State terrorists who had balked at bombing targets in central Mindanao during the holidays surrendered to Cotabato City mayor Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi on Sunday. She presented the pair to reporters in the presence of top police and military officials. The two are still minors, their parents said.
The two initially claimed links with the Dawlah Islamiyah, also known as the Maute terror group based in Lanao del Sur, and the Ansa’r Kilafah Philippines, or AKP, operating in Sarangani province and in General Santos City. Both groups are using the black IS flag as banner.
Officials told reporters the parents of the two alleged terrorists decided to turn them over to the city government out of fear of the mayor's iron-fisted policy in maintaining law and order. The teens were said to have undergone training in the fabrication of improvised explosive devices in the seaside Palimbang town in Sultan Kudarat province.
Personnel of the 1st Marine Brigade killed seven terrorists in Barangay Butril in Palimbang in 2015 in a raid that led to the fall of an AKP camp there where IEDs, firearms and a black IS flag were recovered.
Army intelligence sources said the pair also confessed to links with the now detained TJ Macabalang, one of the alleged plotters of the September 2, 2016 IED attack in Davao City that left 17 people dead and hurt more than 60 others. Macabalang and two accomplices, Wendel Apostol Facturan and Musali Mustapha, were arrested in Cotabato City more than a month later.
