Philippines announces killing of Daesh leader in East Asia
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 14 - 06 - 2023

A team of soldiers and police killed the "emir" of the Dawlah Islamiya in a 10-minute clash in Marawi City before dawn Wednesday.
The Philippine security authorities, announced Wednesday, the killing of the leader of the Daesh organization (so-called IS) Faharudin Pumbuaya Pangalian, during an armed clash with the army and police, in the city of Marawi southern Philippines.
"A raiding team was in Marawi to serve Faharudin Pumbuaya Pangalian different warrants of arrest but killed him instead when he resisted and provoked a gunfight," Police Brig. Gen. Allan Nobleza.
Nobleza is director of the Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region revealed the raid and death according to the Philippine Star newspaper.
More than 20 criminal cases have been issued in different Philippine courts against Pangalian, who is known as Abu Zacharia, among the Daesh elements, Nobleza said, adding, "We are bracing for possible retaliations. We will never give his sympathizers a chance to do that,"
For his part, military commander in the southern region of Mindanao, Lt. Gen. Roy Galido said, Marawi City residents led the joint Army and police raiding team to the hideout of Abu Zacharia.
Pangalian was the leader of all Daesh groups in Mindanao and had links to the outlawed Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, he added.
Police forensic experts found grenades, improvised explosive devices and two M16 assault rifles in the hideout of Pangalian, where soldiers and policemen felled him with rifle shots for resisting arrest.
Pangalian, more known as Abu Zacharia in the Dawlah Islamiya and touted as the group's emir was wanted for more than 20 high-profile criminal cases pending in different courts.
Sources from the Lanao del Sur Provincial Peace and Order Council told reporters it was Maranao villagers supportive of the peace and security programs of Gov. Mamintal Adiong, Jr. who reported the presence of Pangalian in Sarimanok area, enabling the police and military to locate him in the area.
Adiong, chairman of the Lanao del Sur PPOC, last week called on residents to help units of PRO-BAR and the 103rd Infantry Brigade covering Lanao del Sur clear all of the barangays in this city and the 39 towns in the province of Dawlah Islamiya presence.
"We are thankful to the vigilant Marawi City residents who led the joint Army and police raiding team to the hideout of Abu Zacharia," Gen. Galido said.
Nobleza and Gen. Galido separately told reporters Pangalian was also recently proclaimed East Asian emir of the Dawlah Islamiya by leaders of different extremists groups in Mindanao and their supporters abroad.
Also killed in the clash was Joharie Sandab alias Morsid, the DI-Philippines sub-leader for finance and logistics, he said. — Agencies
