Romeo Ranoco/Reuters Foreign Islamic State fighters forced out of Syria and Iraq have been arriving in the Philippines with the intent of recruiting, and they have plans to attack, a Muslim rebel group leader said. More than 1,100 people were killed last year when pro-Islamic State militants attacked and held the Philippine city of Marawi for five months. The fighting could continue if the Philippines does not allow the Muslim areas to have greater autonomy, according to a Muslim separatist.
