Daesh leader arrested in Ghor
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Security forces have tossed in the calaboose
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
a leader of the terrorist group of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) which also goes by its Arabic name Daesh [Islamic State] in western Ghor province.

Spokesperson for Ghor Governor did not name the arrested terrorist while talking to Azadi Radio but said he was heading Daesh [Islamic State] group in this province.

Ahmad Mahmodi added that the terrorist is from Murghab District of neighboring Badghis province but he was arrested from Firozkoh, the quiet provincial capital of Ghor province.

He was leading Taliban in northern part of Ghor but later joined Daesh [Islamic State], Mahmodi said.

Before the emergence of Daesh [Islamic State] about 16 months before, the hotspot of holy warriors was southern part of the country but now they are apparently trying to establish its roots in western and northern parts of the country as well more likely to spill over to other countries.

Observing the situation, Turkmenistan has strengthened its border security by sending additional combat-ready forces and equipment to its border areas with Afghanistan.
