| No organised presence of IS in Pakistan, says FO. Really. |

| [DAWN] Despite intelligence warnings that the murderous Moslem 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.... (IS) group is an emerging threat, Foreign Office insists that the Middle Eastern terrorist group has "no organised presence" in the country. "Let me reiterate that there is no organised presence of Daesh [Islamic State], the Arabic acronym for IS, in Pakistain," FO front man Nafees Zakaria said on Thursday. The new front man, who was holding his first media briefing, was answering a question about the testimony by Aftab Sultan, the chief of the Intelligence Bureau, the lead civilian intelligence agency, before a Senate committee on Wednesday that IS was an emerging threat, particularly because of the support of local terrorist and murderous Moslem organizations, including the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain, Sipah-e-Sahaba (now operating under the name of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat ...which is the false nose and plastic mustache of the murderous bannedextremist group Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain, whatcha might call the political wingof Lashkar-e-Jhangvi... ) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi ... a 'more violent' offshoot of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of. They are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of al-Qaeda ... IS has been discussed as an emerging threat at different national forums in the past as well. Speaking at a corps commanders' conference on Wednesday, Army Chief General Raheel Sharif ..Pak chief of army staff, meaning he pulls the strings on the Nawaz Sharif puppet to make it dance and sing and not do much at all.... cautioned about local abettors of terrorists. However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... he did not directly link his observation to IS. Foreign Office has all along maintained that IS is not a major security threat for the country, but such assertions have failed to quash fears about the group, which has found a foothold in neighbouring Afghanistan and reports about its activities inside Pakistain keep coming. Several sleeper cells and recruiting rings of IS are said to have been busted by security agencies. |
