A suspected militant and close associate of the slain Islamic State branch leader in the Philippines was killed in a shootout with police in the south, authorities said.
Arrasid Adjing Halissam (also known as Guru Ara), a suspect wanted in connection with bombings and kidnappings in the southern Philippines, was shot dead when he resisted arrest by firing at officers as they moved to serve him with a warrant in Zamboanga City, regional police chief Brig. Gen. Ronaldo Genaro Ylagan said.
“During the law enforcement operation the suspect opened fire on the operating unit using his caliber .45 pistol that prompted the police forces to retaliate and neutralize the target,” Ylagan said.
