Philippine navy blockades Abu Sayyaf bastion
[UPI] The Philippine navy deployed its newest and largest ship to establish a blockade around the island province of Sulu to prevent the Daesh-linked Abu Sayyaf from fleeing. The BRP Tarlac will lead the blockade in the Sulu Sea after President Duterte ordered the nation's military to destroy the Abu Sayyaf. The terror-linked group has claimed responsibility for a bombing that left 15 dead in Davao City and for multiple beheadings in the past months.

Brig. Gen. Arnel dela Vega, commander of a joint task force battling the Abu Sayyaf, said the ship will serve as a command and control center for naval operations. The navy is preparing to track down Abu Sayyaf members if they attempt to flee, he added.
