ISIS Goal : Caliphate In India
ISIS-K claimed responsibility for the Kabul airport attack
ISIS-K has fought both Afghanistan’s government backed by the West and also the Taliban, but its precise operational connection with the main ISIS group in Iraq and Syria remains uncertain.
Named after an old term for the region Khorasan, ISIS-K first appeared in eastern Afghanistan in late 2014 and quickly established a reputation for extreme brutality. It was founded by hardline elements of the Pakistani Taliban who fled into Afghanistan when Pakistan security forces cracked down on them.
Now these emboldened ISIS terrorists unit believed to be behind Thursday’s deadly Kabul bombings have India in their crosshairs with establishing the rule of their caliphate are among lofty ideological goals. These Jokers think that Indian Army too will run away just like the USA Army and the NATO Army.
Having secured a foothold in Afghanistan with help of Pakistan ISI, the Islamic State Khorasan, also known as IS-K or ISIS-K, hopes to take their so called jihad terror to Central Asia and later in India.
Carrying out terror attacks and recruiting young people are on top of their agenda. For this, Ideologically, they want to establish the rule of the caliphate and India is included in that. They said young people from Kerala and Mumbai have joined ISIS and the violent group finds significant traction among radicalised individuals.
“If reverse osmosis starts, many cells can be activated in India,” said an official, expressing concern about the group’s recruitment plans. With the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, the country is emerging as a Spawning area for terrorist groups.
According to them, the leadership of the Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed, known for its attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, have shifted to Afghanistan’s Helmand province, bordering Kandahar. Similarly, the leadership of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, are shifting to Kunar in East Afghanistan, sources said.
According to a source, the Kabul attacks were carried out to demonstrate that the Taliban cannot provide the security it has been promising.
The ISIS-K also wants to become a key power-broker in Afghanistan and force the US into extending, in some shape or form, its counter-terrorism presence which would offer the terror group leverage against the Taliban, said a senior officer.US officials say ISIS-K includes Pakistanis from other terrorist groups and Uzbek extremists in addition to Afghans.
Not to worry, let the terrorists of any variety come to India and the dogs will be hunted down, no matter in which corner they hide. India is waiting ….just try it out.
