-

(DAILY MAIL, US),2 JUNE

2017 - ISIS fanatics have again claimed responsibi­lity for an attack on a Manila casino that left dozens dead - despite police declaring almost immediatel­y that it was a robbery gone wrong.

At least 37 people were killed last night after a ‘white, Englishspe­aking’ masked gunman attacked a casino in Manila, stole £1.7million ($2.3million) worth of betting chips and set fire to tables before he ‘burned himself to death’.

It is understood many of the victims were women who suffocated due to smoke inhalation as crowds battled to get to the exits.
