DNA tests confirm the death of a pro-Daesh commander in a gunbattle in the Philippines
In this undated photo provided by the Philippines National Police, Owaida Marohombsar, third from left, who was also known by his nom de guerre Abu Dar, sits with some terror leaders as they plan the siege of Marawi in southern Philippines. Philippine officials say US DNA tests have confirmed the death of Abu Dar.
Most leaders of the attack were killed, but Marohombsar survived with a large amount of looted cash and jewellery from Marawi that authorities feared he could use to rebuild the militant's battered organisation and plot new attacks.

Eduardo Ano gestures prior to the start of the ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting in Clark, Pampanga province north of Manila, Philippines.
A Philippine army brigade commander, Brig. Gen. Romeo Brawner, said troops would pursue the rest of Marohombsar's remaining fighters, mostly based in Lanao's hinterlands, not far from Marawi.
