Pakistan’s ISI behind appointment of new ISIS chief in Afghanistan: Uzbekistani
2017-06-08
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A top leader 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....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group in Afghanistan has declared his opposition regarding the appointment of a Pak national, Sheikh Aslam Farooqi, as the new leader of the terror group in Afghanistan.

He has called the appointment of Farooqi as an attempt by the Pak military intelligence, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).

"Even if this information is true, then it’s the ISI of Pakistain behind this function and we don’t accept it, because we all fight for Allah and his religion," the ISIS leader Moawiya Uzbekistani has said in a letter which has been obtained by the News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

He has also warned regarding against "infidels, intelligence services and the deceitful" acting from "behind the scenes."

The rift among the ISIS leaders in Afghanistan has reportedly widened after a meeting was organized in Orakzai Agency

province of Afghanistan.

The Office of the President, ARG Palace, in a statement said the leader of ISIS Khurasan Abdul Hasib was killed during an operation of the Afghan Special Forces in Nangarhar province.

#1  ISIS and the ISI are not exactly kindred souls but someday the Afghans will be minus the American presence and Pakistain may need something in the bag to stall India and its efforts to put their own stamp on the future with pressure for Paki from two sides.

And besides directorate S in ISI likes ISIS way of doing things.
