Philippines identifies 2 members of pro-Islamic State group as bomb suspects

Philippine police on Wednesday identified two persons of interest as suspects involved in a deadly blast that killed four people during a Catholic Mass in a southern city at the weekend.

Those suspected of orchestrating the attack in Marawi were members of Daulah Islamiya-Maute, a pro-Islamic State militant group that took control of the city in 2017 and held it throughout five months of ground offensives and air strikes by the military.
