Pro-ISIS rebels storm school in Philippines, students held hostage

BIFF still holding hostages at Cotabato school: military

I pray they are freed unharmed.

"As of now, they are in the school holding the civilians. They are using them as human shields," Captain Arvin Encinas, spokesman for the Army division with responsibility for the area, told AFP by phone.

Encinas said the gunmen had planted improvised bombs around the school, a small building in a rural area, and that soldiers had surrounded it.

There were about 20 hostages taken from houses nearby, but no students, Antonio Maganto, the region's education spokesman, told AFP, although he said the exact numbers could not be confirmed.

From the second link, no students are being held, thank God. It's bad enough as it is.
Real brave fuckers, aren't they, using human shields?

Thank you for that!
Yeah, that seems to be a common trait amongst them, human shields that is.
