MANILA—Philippine security forces on Sunday arrested the Indonesian wife of the slain pro-ISIS terrorist leader who planned and led the attack on Marawi City, authorities said.

President Rodrigo Duterte declared last month the liberation of Marawi City from the Maute group, a pro-ISIS terrorist group which held the lakeside town after the death of two top leaders, including the woman’s husband Omarkhayam.
