Suspected Dawlah Islamiyah leader, bomb expert killed in Maguindanao
The leader of the Dawlah Islamiyah (DI) terrorist group, Ustadz Mohammad Usman Solaiman, was killed in a military operation in Maguindanao del Sur on Sunday.
Solaiman, also known as the bomb maker for the DI-Hassan Group, was the brother of a previously killed DI-HG member and a cousin of the slain BIFF leader Basit Usman.
He was considered a candidate to replace the former leader of the DI and BIFF alliance, Alias Abu Azim.
Solaiman's group has been linked to various bombing incidents targeting civilians, including bus bombings in Maguindanao del Norte and South, as well as other attacks like an ambush and the robbery-slay of goat vendors.
