MARAWI CITY – The military on Friday said it got strong indications that Omarkhayyam Maute has been killed in one of the clashes here between soldiers and Maute gunmen. “We can’t say what day he was killed, what caliber (of firearms) had killed him or where was his cadaver buried. “We really could not confirm anything unless we see the body but we also got a similar report,” Herrera added. As this developed, Herrera said the military will continue to seize more areas from the extremists, who are now numbering between 90 and 100 fighters. But Herrera maintained the military could not issue any definitive timetable as to when the fighting would be over.
