IS-K - or to give it its more accurate name, Islamic State Khorasan Province - is the regional affiliate of the Islamic State group that is active in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It is the most extreme and violent of all the jihadist militant groups in Afghanistan.

It was set up in January 2015 at the height of IS's power in Iraq and Syria, before its self-declared caliphate was defeated and dismantled by a US-led coalition.

It recruits from both Afghan and Pakistani jihadists, especially defecting members of the Afghan Taliban who don't see their own organisation as extreme enough.

IS-K have been blamed for some of the worst atrocities in recent years, targeting girls' schools, hospitals and even a maternity ward where they reportedly shot dead pregnant women and nurses.

Unlike the Taliban, whose interest is confined to Afghanistan, IS-K are part of the global IS network that seeks to carry out attacks on Western, international and humanitarian targets wherever they can reach them.

Where are they located?

IS-K are based in the eastern province of Nangarhar, close to drug- and people-smuggling routes in and out of Pakistan.

At its height the group numbered about 3,000 fighters - but has suffered significant casualties in clashes with both the US and Afghan security forces, and also with the Taliban.

Are they linked to the Taliban?

Peripherally yes, via a third party, the Haqqani network.

According to researchers, there are strong links between IS-K and the Haqqani network, which in turn is closely linked to the Taliban.

The man now in charge of security in Kabul is Khalil Haqqani who has had a $5m (£3.6m) bounty on his head.

Dr Sajjan Gohel from the Asia Pacific Foundation has been monitoring the militant networks in Afghanistan for years.

He says "several major attacks between 2019 and 2021 involved collaboration between IS-K, the Taliban's Haqqani network and other terror groups based in Pakistan".

When the Taliban took over in Kabul on 15 August, the group released large numbers of prisoners from Pul-e-Charki jail, reportedly including IS and al-Qaeda militants. These people are now at large.

But IS-K have major differences with the Taliban, accusing them of abandoning Jihad and the battlefield in favour of a negotiated peace settlement hammered out in "posh hotels" in Doha, Qatar.

IS militants now represent a major security challenge for the incoming Taliban government, something the Taliban leadership shares in common with Western intelligence agencies.

Let Muslims Choose one continent for themselves where all of them will live and serve their Allah and let normal human beings have the rest.

Blodry

Fear Americans and CIA, they know what the world thinks about the Talibans and they are using this opportunity to prolong their stay in Afghanistan......... Using innocent lives to play politics.....

For those who cannot see right through the norm in the society will always blame Talibans who only wanted their country back for this bombing, should go and find out about Vietnam....

Damn.


One communications minister of one country will be salivating now.

Righteousness2:
Folks, things are Happening so Fast. It is becoming so hard to keep up with Events.

Events are Prophetically and Biblical Falling in place.
The USA is Strategically being reduced to a Superless ,Powerless and toothless Nation just like we said.

At the same time the Armies and Nations that will take on Israel in the GogMagog Collation are Strategically being Formed.

At the same time, the Full blown Chaos and Lawlessness that will bring in the Lawless man aka the antichrist is being set in motion.

The Bottom line is that Unadulterated Chaos is about to burst out. No matter where you are, you are not Safe Except you are Genuinely in a relationship with JESUS Christ.
JESUS is Coming to snatch His own out of the scene.
Escape for your Life.

Bros find a purpose for life. Even Judas found his own when he sold Jesus.

Daniel058:
