once again expressed concern
...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended...
s regarding the emerging threat of the terror group in the region.
President Ghani called the terror group an "internet phenomenon" and said the group does not need a physical presence.
"The first recruit, an Afghan woman was taken to Syria, was recruited thorough Australia by the internet. All analysts, the Centcom, has a commission that did the best open source studies on Daesh," he said.
Ghani further added "I have read every word of it. And of course there are two schools of thought, one is that this is an enduring phenomena, the other that is a flash.
But their pattern of organization is distinct, what I have argued is that based on the pattern that they have established, I see an emerging threat. I am not alone in this, the government of Iran is concerned about this, other governments are concerned, but we do not want to await the dramatic actions that have characterized them, their mode of operation is to eat their competitors."
The remarks by President Ghani comes the national security advisor Hanif Atmar said last week that the terror group is looking to have access to drugs market by starting operations in Afghanistan.
Atmar also warned that the terror group wants to expand its operations not only in Afghanistan but the whole region and wants infiltrate in Central Asian countries.
This also comes as the group has started promoting a training camp in central Pashtun-infested Logar province of Afghanistan, located 60 km south of capital Kabul.
The training camp has been named after the Taliban capo -- Ustad Yasir who was killed in 2012 in an internecine dispute and was revealed after a set of photographs which purportedly shows the group conducting training was published online by a Pak news hound Saleem Mehsud.
President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani acknowledged for the first time last month that the terrorist group was gaining influence in the country.
