ISIS recruiters target Mindanao schools

SUPPORTERS of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have made schools and a university in Mindanao their hunting ground as they continue to recruit new members, according to an imam or high priest in a Cotabato mosque who was “invited” to join the jihadist group.

The imam told The Manila Times that members of a Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) terror cell have organized themselves into a recruitment group and are wooing the youth, particularly students in private and public schools aged 16 to 18, to embrace the cause being propagated by the ISIS.
