Muslim militants attack MILF

ZAMBOANGA CITY: Local Muslim militants allied with the Islamic State (IS) launched simultaneous attacks against the former rebel group Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in the restive southern Filipino province of Maguindanao del Sur.

At least three reports from various international sources confirmed the raids after the IS posted the attacks on its website on Wednesday, May 17. The MILF, however, has not released any report of the attacks in Tuayan village in Shariff Aguak town.
