remaining militants aligned with the militant Islamic State (IS) group over the weekend in southern Marawi city and are attempting to determine whether a Malaysian who may have taken over the militants’ leadership is still alive, officials said on Monday.</p><p class="">Military spokesman Maj Gen Restituto Padilla said the killing of the 11 “stragglers” in daylong clashes Sunday was part of clearing operations in a harbour area of Marawi, where the military ended its massive offensive on Oct 23 after quelling the insurrection and sending a few remaining gunmen into hiding.</p><p class="">“Clearing operations are focused on the remaining areas of Marawi believed to hold terrorist stragglers fighting for survival and hiding out in the hope of escaping the main battle area,” Padilla said.</p><p class="">It’s unclear how many gunmen remain hiding in the battle ruins near Lanao Lake.</p><p class="">More than 900 militants, 165 troops and policemen and 47 civilians were killed in the fighting in Marawi which dragged on for five months and forced the Islamic city’s 200,000 residents to flee to safety before troops quelled the last major resistance put up by the gunmen, who took positions in bullet-pocked buildings, houses and mosques.</p><p class="">National police chief Ronald dela Rosa told reporters that there was intelligence that a Malaysian militant, Amin Baco, survived and has assumed leadership of the militants, but military officials said they believe Baco was killed in Sunday’s fighting or in recent weeks, and that troops were searching for his body.</p><p class="">“Contrary to recent pronouncements by some officials that it is now headed by a certain Amin Baco, the Armed Forces of the Philippines strongly believes that the group is now leaderless and without direction,” Padilla said.</p><p class="">Baco, who also used the nom de guerre Abu Jihad, is said to have collaborated with different militant groups and joined many terrorist attacks for several years across the southern Philippines, the scene of a decades-long separatist rebellion by minority Muslims. He has provided combat and bomb-making training to allied groups in different areas, according to the military.</p><p class="">It said in recent years he joined a group led by a top Filipino terror suspect, Isnilon Hapilon, who was killed in the final major battle in Marawi last month along with another militant leader, Omarkhayam Maute.</p><p class=""><em>Published in Dawn, November 7th, 2017</em></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>   <div class="template__footer modifier--open px-1 px-md-0"> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-11"> <div class="ml-0 ml-sm-6 px-0 px-sm-2"> <hr> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6"> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6"> <div class="mt-2 mt-sm-0 clearfix social-container">  <div class="social social--icon social--black social--flat social--facebook social--count float-left mr-1 " aria-hidden="true"> <a onclick="return !window.open(this.href, 'Share on Facebook', 'width=640, height=536')" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171107142353/https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1368862&display=popup&ref=plugin" target="_blank"><span data-fb-count-url="https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1368862"></span></a> </div> <div class="social social--icon social--black social--flat social--twitter float-left mr-1 " aria-hidden="true"> <a onclick="return !window.open(this.href, 'Tweet', 'width=640, height=300')" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171107142353/https://twitter.com/share?text=Philippine%20troops%20kill%2011%20IS-linked%20militants%20in%20Marawi&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1368862&counturl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1368862" target="_blank"></a> </div> <div class="social hidden-xs-down social--print social--icon social--black social--flat float-left mr-1" aria-hidden="true"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171107142353/https://www.dawn.com/news/print/1368862">   </a> </div> <div class="social social--email social--icon social--black social--flat float-left mr-1" aria-hidden="true"> <a onclick="$('.mailer [name^=id]').val(1368862);$('.mailer').modal().open()" href="javascript:void(0)"></a> </div> <div class="mailer themodal themodal--centered" style="width:400px;height:260px;background:#fff"> <h3>Email</h3> <br/> <form accept-charset="utf-8" class="form-vertical emailer" onsubmit="javascript:$.post(this.action, $(this).serialize());$(this).html('Mail sent, thank you!');return false;" method="POST" action="https://web.archive.org/web/20171107142353/https://www.dawn.com/news/email/1368862"><input class="form-control" type="hidden" name="jscheck" value=""><div class="form-group"><label for="sender" class="control-label">Your Name</label><input class="form-control" id="sender" type="text" name="sender"></div><div class="form-group"><label for="to" class="control-label">Recipient Email</label><input class="form-control" id="to" type="text" name="to"></div><input class="form-control" type="hidden" name="id" value=""><input class="btn mt-2" type="submit" value="Email"><input class="form-control" type="hidden" name="_token" value=""></form> </div> <div class="social social--comment social--icon social--black social--flat social--label text--700 float-left mr-1" aria-hidden="true"> <a href="#comments">0</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row no-gutters">  <div class="ad py-4 d-block d-sm-none" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="ad__label " style="max-width:300px;">Advertisement</div> <div class="js-ad clearfix" style="text-align:center;margin:0 auto;overflow:hidden;max-width:300px;max-height:250px"> <div class="radWrapper ad__wrapper"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-1455520357400-6" class="ad__wrapper__slot" style="width:300px;height:250px"> <script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1455520357400-6');
