MANILA: A top Malaysian militant with long combat experience in the war-torn southern Philippine island of Mindanao is the new "emir" of the ultra-radical Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in South-East Asia, the Philippines' police chief said on Monday (Nov 6).
Sabahan Mohammad Amin Baco, 31, replaced Isnilon Hapilon, 51, who was killed as the five-month-long conflict between Philippine troops and Muslim militants for Marawi city in Mindanao drew to a close.
