Philippine soldiers have been fighting ISIS-aligned insurgents in Marawi City for the past month — and this is because more and more Islamic jihadists are traveling east, said Adm. Harry Harris, the commander of U.S. Pacific forces, on Wednesday in a speech to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute that was covered by The Wall Street Journal.
