From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 29): PNP, Army on alert vs Maute attacks
Police forces in Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur have been alerted to prevent retaliatory and sympathy attacks following the death of Maute patriarch Cayamora on Sunday.
Chief Supt. Theodore Sindac, Police Regional Director for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm), ordered the deployment of more police checkpoints in Lanao Sur and Maguindanao after intelligence reports indicated that sympathizers of the Maute Brothers will bring the war outside Marawi City.
Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur are adjoining provinces under PNP-Armm.
Cayamora Maute, father of local terrorist leaders Omar and Abdulla, died on Sunday at a hospital after complaining of chest pain.
A police intelligence officer said relatives of the Maute patriarch were emotional on the news of his demise while in government custody.
Lt. Gen. Carlito Galvez, Jr, chief of Western Mindanao Command, also ordered the Army to remain on alert for possible rampage by Maute terrorists.
