TIL Desk/World/Islamabad-The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and by its Arabic acronym ‘Daesh’ is reportedly in the process of establishing a strong footprint across Pakistan, and especially in the border areas near Afghanistan.
Exclusive documents obtained by the News and from law enforcement officials tasked with the responsibility of eradicating the ‘Daesh’ in Balochistan and Sindh revealed that the terror group has also spread its tentacles into tribal dominant Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province as they have been recruiting young Afghans living in refugee camps.
Bordering cities like Shikarpur, Hyderabad, Mastung and Rahimyar Khan have become a hot bed for proscribed organisations widely inspired by the ISIS or the Daesh. These shocking revelations were collected from as many as 30 ISIS militants, arrested by law enforcement agencies. Sanaullah Abbasi, Incharge Counter Terrorism Department Sindh confirmed, “We’ve decided to conduct a joint operation against the Daesh.”
