Authorities said ending the crisis was proving extremely hard because Isis holed up in residential buildings, had planted improvised bombs in the streets and had taken Catholic hostages.......Isis is holding between 12 and 15 Catholic hostages abducted from a church, according to the local bishop, Edwin Dela Pena...in the Phillipines.

Terrorists also attacked the Cathedral of Our Lady Help and abducted church staff including Father Chito Suganob and worshipers.
‘They have threatened to kill the hostages if the government forces unleashed against them are not recalled,’ Filipino Archbishop Socrates Villegas said in a statement.

His bio:
Isnilon Totoni Hapilon was born on March 18, 1966, in the predominantly Muslim Philippine province of Basilan.
He serves as second in command of the Filipino terrorist group, Abu Sayyaf. He speaks Tausug, Tagolog, English, and Yakan and graduated from ‘the elite School of Engineering’ of the University of the Philippines.
In 2001, he helped kidnap 20 tourists from a vacation resort. The 17 non-Americans were eventually released with ransoms paid...after one of them was beheaded...he then escaped the fire fight that followed.
In 2002, he founded a training camp for terrorists where he serves as one of the trainers.
His group are integrated with the worldwide network of Islamic terrorists, including Jemaah Islamiyah and al-Qaida...and Isis.
