I stand corrected, the news in this country ... Well actually getting the truth can be challenging however it appears that it still wasn't a terrorist (ISIS) incident:

The victims, who were discovered on Friday morning, did not appear to have been shot, but were suffocated in the chaos as guests and staff tried flee the choking smoke from a fire, said Bureau of Fire Protection official Tomas Apolinario. A further 54 were injured, some seriously.


The lone gunman, described as a Caucasian with a moustache, was among the dead, having committed suicide by setting himself on fire in one of the hotel guest rooms, the Philippines police said on Friday. His body was found burned beyond recognition, next to a machine gun.
