10. @Stratfor's Scott Stewart explains the meaning of the nom de guerre cited in the ISIS claim:
1) Breaking: ISIS' Amaq claimed attack @ Resort World #Manila , #Philippines was carried out by #ISIS fighters according to its source
2) Amaq claim not surprising: Since shooting began yesterday #ISIS operative in #Philippines claimed ISIS fighter was behind #Manila attack
3) 2nd claim, 8h ago, named attacker "AbuKhair alLuzonee"who aimed to burn the casino inside, as it's the"main cause of HARAM in the region"
#Philippines #Manila - The #IS statement comes from the same guy reporting from #Marawi. His info there proved to be true.
