[Daily Excelsior] Security agencies are not ruling out the possibility of the banned ISIS trying to create a base in the Kashmire valley, noting that internet chats and establishing of contacts with possible handlers in Syria and Iraq by some youths have grown in the last six months.Officials in the security establishment, who are not authorised to speak to the media, said on condition of anonymity that there have been small pockets in the Valley from where some youths are trying to get in touch with one or more handlers in Syria and Iraq.
Last month, two masked gunnies appeared at the grave of a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist in Pulwama during which they asked the gathering to follow the rules laid down by Taliban

and ISIS and not support or raise slogans in favour of Pakistain.
They gave fiery

speeches for over three minutes in which they spoke about pan-Islamisation and the importance of having Shariat as a law, the officials said.
While Death Eater outfits including United Jehad Council, a conglomerate of terror outfits based out of Pakistain-occupied Kashmire, as well as the local unit of Hizbul Mujahideen were quick to downplay the incident, security officials viewed it with more seriousness.
The agencies felt if the growing influence of ISIS was not checked, it could be detrimental to the situation in the Valley.
The officials said that the activities on the internet from the Valley to some accounts in Syria and Iraq have been tracked during last one year.
