In the Philippines, a man who fired an automatic rifle inside a casino in the capital of Manila and triggered fears of a terrorist attack was shot dead. <br/><br/>Police said, the incident was likely just a bungled robbery. <br/><br/>People ran screaming out of Resorts World Manila, which is across a road from the Philippines' international airport, after the man fired what police chief Ronald dela Rosa said was an M4 assault rifle and set fire to a gambling table about midnight. <br/><br/>Police chief said, the gunman was killed by our troops. <br/><br/>Before the gunmen had been killed and police had confirmed any motive, the Islamic State group claimed responsibility and US President Donald Trump also branded it a "terrorist attack". <br/><br/>The police chief, however said, the incident was most likely a robbery gone wrong rather than a terrorist attack.
