Just in! Maute Leader, OMAR MAUTE, SHOT DEAD in MARAWI! Watch the ACTUAL VIDEO!

The war in Marawi City in Mindanao against the ISIS-inspired group; MAUTE continues. For more than 10 days, lives were lost in this bloody battle and civilians were trapped in the midst of the fire fight and airstrikes. Recently, members of the the terrorist group were caught in checkpoints and some of them are wounded. THE Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) will validate information that one of the two Maute brothers was killed by air strikes on Marawi City, military chief Gen. Eduardo Año said on Tuesday. This came as police and the military nabbed the father of the Maute brothers, Cayamora, at a checkpoint in Davao City Tuesday morning.

Año said information on the incident where Omar Maute was reportedly killed circulated on May 28. “The report is still not confirmed. It was in Marawi City,” he told reporters. The AFP chief said there was a “big possibility” Omar is still alive. In a radio interview, Año said the military still faced at least a hundred Maute members, mostly in the Bangolo area, citing a report from the ground commander. Aside from the remaining Maute, Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon needs to be “neutralized” by government troops. “We are seeing the loss of their (Maute) snipers, so our troops were able to hasten their moves and it may also lead to the surrender of some remaining Maute members,” Año said. Omar, the brother of Abdullah Maute, was earlier reported killed in February 2016 during the military offensive against them and their cohorts in Butig, Lanao del Sur. Earlier, President Rodrigo Duterte offered a P20-million reward for any information that could lead to the capture of Abu Sayyaf leader Hapilon and the Maute brothers. A P10-million bounty was placed on Hapilon’s head, and P5 million each on the Maute brothers. Fighting in Marawi City started last May 22 when government troops tried to arrest Hapilon. The siege forced President Duterte to declare martial law in Mindanao on May 23. The P10-million bounty on Hapilon is on top of the $5 million earlier offered by the US government for information on the Abu Sayyaf leader. He also has a standing P7.4-million bounty from the Philippine government. Hapilon is wanted for kidnapping with ransom and serious illegal detention.
