Salahuddin Hassan, leader of the Islamic State group-linked Daulah Islamiya, was killed early morning Friday in a joint police and military operation in Maguindanao, officials said.
Balisi said troops recovered the bodies of Hassan and his wife Jehana Minbida, the finance officer of Daulah Islamiyah, as well as several firearms, ammunition and subversive documents. "This latest accomplishment is a significant blow against the DIHG and another victory in our thrust against terrorism. With their leader now dead, the terrorist group will certainly crumble," said Faustino.
