The Philippine National Police (PNP) said Monday, November 6, that Amin Baco is the new leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Southeast Asia, and is leading the remaining Maute Group fighters. 

Meanwhile, a vast leak of financial documents –  the Paradise Papers – was released by the US-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). The ICIJ was behind the 2015 Panama Papers.
