ILIGAN CITY—Hundreds of families from several villages of Marogong town in Lanao del Sur province fled their homes starting on Friday night after an alleged threat of violence by local Islamic State-linked militants. The warning from the Dawlah Islamiyah (DI) terror group, issued by its leader, Commander Zacariah, was heard over a privately operated two-way radio network, said Police Col. Robert Daculan, Lanao del Sur police director, on Saturday. The radio network is run by UHF radio owners in the locality, who use the system for emergency responses.
