MANILA: Philippine police say two extremist have been arrested with guns, explosives and Daesh group-style black flags in a northern province far from the traditional lairs of militants in the volatile south.
National police chief Gen. Oscar Albayalde said Monday the arrest last week of the two militants in Baggao town in Cagayan province in the northern tip of the main Luzon island was not an indication that Daesh-linked militants have been able to expand their presence far beyond their traditional southern bases.
