   Not British!   
      
   Fearless 70-Year-Old Man Fights ISIS-Linked Terrorist In ‘Hand-To-Hand’   
   Combat   
      
    A elderly Filipino man recently engaged a radical extremist   
   with ties to the Islamic State in hand-to-hand combat in his backyard,   
   demonstrating rare courage.   
      
   Lolo Peryong, 70, was cleaning his backyard when Abu Ubayda, a member of the   
   Abu Sayyaf militant group, walked onto his property in Barangay Lawis in   
   Calape with an M16 assault rifle, the Philippine News Agency reported, citing   
   the testimony of Capt.    
   Jojo Mascariňas, an intelligence officer with the armed forces.   
      
   Abu Sayyaf has sworn allegiance to ISIS and carries a similar black flag.   
      
   Peryong’s neighbors fled, but he stood his ground. He attacked the terrorist   
   with a bolo, a kind of large single-edged knife used in the Philippines.   
   Ubayda parried the attacks, at one point taking the weapon from the old man,   
   but even unarmed, Peryong    
   continued his assault, engaging the fighter in hand-to-hand combat.   
      
   Ubayda stabbed the septuagenarian and probably would have killed him, but   
   before he had the opportunity, Philippine soldiers arrived and shot the   
   terrorist. He was the last of an 11-man militant group that invaded Bohol.   
      
   Peryong’s wounds were not fatal. He was taken to the hospital and is   
   recovering from his fight. PNA, a state news agency, praised the elderly man   
   for his bravery.   
      
   The Philippine armed forces are fighting against several armed Islamic   
   insurgencies. Several of the groups are loyal to ISIS and aim to build a   
   caliphate in the southern Philippines. Many soldiers and civilians have been   
   killed in sporadic battles.   
      
   An intense and deadly firefight has been raging for three days in the southern   
   city of Marawi, where a botched attempt to capture or kill Abu Sayyaf leader   
   Isnilon Hapilon turned into a battle with Abu Sayyaf fighters, as well as   
   Maute Group    
   reinforcements. Maute is also a militant organization with ties to ISIS.   
      
      
   The militants took control of the city, raising their black standard above   
   government buildings. From there, they proceeded to take hostages, behead the   
   police chief, slaughter civilians, and torch churches and schools.   
      
   The military is in the process of liberating the city.
