| [DAWN] Inspector General of Police Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... (KP) Nasir Khan Durrani said on Tuesday said presence of the self-styled 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.... cannot be ignored in KP. "It is wrong to say IS does not have a presence in KP," said Durrani. "IS's presence in Pakistain is not a new a phenomenon, members who belonged to the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) have switched sides in some cases," said the top police official of KP. But Durrani assured that the situation was under control. "Frequency of terrorist attacks has witnessed a noticeable drop in comparison to the last four years, which is due to concentrated efforts by the army and law enforcement agencies," said Durrani. Earlier this month, KP police had placed in durance vile Book 'im, Mahmoud! three suspected murderous Moslems said to be inspired by IS. The raid was conducted while acting on an intelligence tip-off.
