| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The affiliates 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group have claimed an attack on Pak security forces check post along the Durand Line. It is the first such assault claimed by the ISIS affiliates who are believed to be the former members of the Pak Taliban group -- Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP). An ISIS affiliate told Rooters that the attack was carried out late on Saturday in Damadola district of the Bajaur tribal area in Pakistain's northwest, where the military has been battling a murderous Moslem insurgency since 2007. He said "Our men destroyed the post, set it on fire and left it after our operation was complete." The attack was also reportedly confirmed by two Pak intelligence officials but they said no casualties were incurred. This comes as the terror group's self proclaimed Khurasan province chief Sheikh Jalaluddin issued a video statement on Saturday calling Pakistain's military intelligence -- Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) as infidels. Sheikh Jalaluddin vowed to continue attacks both in Afghanistan and Pakistain in a bid to enforce a Sharia law. This comes as the Afghan ambassador to Pakistain Mosazai warned earlier that that the ISIS terror group was spreading "its propaganda and obscurantist worldview" also in Pakistain, similar as other parts of the world. Speaking during a seminar on Countering Violence Extremism, Mosazai said the former the gunnies of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) are shifting over to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group. He said TTP gunnies have infiltrated into Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province and switched over to the black flag or Daesh, which we have been containing," Mosazai quoted by local media reports said. |
