The '''Maute group''', also known as [[The Islamic State|the Islamic State]] of Lanao, is a [[Militant Islam|radical Islamist]] group composed of former Moro Islamic Liberation Front guerrillas and some foreign fighters led by [[Abdullah Maute]], the alleged founder of a Dawlah Islamiya, or Islamic state based in Lanao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines. The group was involved in a clash with Philippine Army troops in February 2016 that led to the capture of their headquarters in Butig, Lanao del Sur. There are reports that [[Omar Maute]], Abdullah's brother, was killed in that clash. There are also reports to the contrary, claiming that he escaped before the camp was overrun and is still alive; video footage found on a cellphone captured by Philippine government troops during the Marawi crisis indicates this to be true. Since then the group, which a Philippine Army brigade commander characterized as terrorist, has been conducting a protection racket in the remote settlements of Butig. | The '''Maute group''', also known as [[The Islamic State|the Islamic State]] of Lanao, is a [[Militant Islam|radical Islamist]] group composed of former Moro Islamic Liberation Front guerrillas and some foreign fighters led by [[Abdullah Maute]], the alleged founder of a Dawlah Islamiya, or Islamic state based in Lanao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines.
