More than sixty interviews with residents of Nangarhar and provincial and The Rise and Stall of national Afghan security officials carried out by The Liaison Office, an Afghan research and peacebuilding organization, in Nangarhar and Kabul in the spring and summer of 2016 informed this report. the Islamic State in ABOUT THE AUTHOR Afghanistan Casey Garret Johnson is an independent researcher focusing on violent extremism and local politics in Afghanistan. Summary • The Islamic State’s Khorasan province (IS-K) is led by a core of former Tehrik-e-Taliban Paki- stan commanders from Orakzai and Khyber Agencies of Pakistan; the majority of mid-level commanders are former Taliban from Nangarhar, with the rank and file a mixture of local Afghans, Pakistanis, and foreign jihadists mostly from Central Asia. • IS-K receives funding from the Islamic State’s Central Command and is in contact with lead- ership in Iraq and Syria, but the setup and day-to-day operations of the Khorasan province have been less closely controlled than other Islamic State branches such as that in Libya. • IS-K emerged in two separate locations in Afghanistan in 2014—the far eastern reaches of Nangarhar province along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, and Kajaki district of southern Helmand province.

  • ISIS Khorasan: Presence, Affiliations and Regional Alliances with Russia
    WALIA journal 35(1): 70-76, 2019 Available online at www.Waliaj.com ISSN 1026-3861 © 2019 WALIA ISIS Khorasan: Presence, affiliations and regional alliances with Russia Muhammad Amin *, Muhammad Asif University of Balochistan, Quetta, Pakistan Abstract: The eco-political instability of the Middle East gave birth to ISIS. It made the Middle Eastern region destabilized. ISIS has a large number of fighters from other regions of the world. Some of them belong to Pakistan, China, Afghanistan, Russia and Central Asia. The growth and revenue of ISIS influenced the Taliban and Al-Qaeda splinters to announce an affiliation with ISIS. It announced ISIS Wilayat Khorasan with the help of these splinters. The affiliates of ISIS Khorasan are attacking and killing many people of Pakistan and Afghanistan are being attacked by ISIS Khorasan. It also wants to spread its growth and launch attacks in other countries of this region. Russia, China and Pakistan want to form an alliance against ISIS. Therefore, they are organizing regular meetings on the issue. The entry of ISIS Khorasan in the region demands from the regional countries a comprehensive strategy to counter ISIS Khorasan. The analytical method has been used for this study and most of the data have been taken from secondary sources. It is argued that the threat of ISIS Khorasan is compelling the regional powers to have an alliance with Russia against ISIS. Key words: Region; Affiliates; Wilayat Khorasan; Alliance; Attack 1. Introduction 2. Islamic state of Iraq and Syria *Asia is the home of 106 billion Muslims which Abu Musab al-Zarqawi founded a militant group covers, 62% of the world population.

  • Al-Qaeda's Women Wing in Pakistan Appears Simple
    Al-Qaeda’s Women Wing in Pakistan: The Shaheen Force Al-Qaeda’s Women Wing in Pakistan: The Shaheen Force By FarhanZahid The Al-Qaeda core operating from tribal areas of Pakistan is keen to compete with its splinter, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL) at all levels. To match the magnitude and ferocity of ISIS terrorist attacks, Al-Qaeda operatives in Pakistan even attempted to hijack a Pakistan Navy frigate PNS Zulfiqar in September 20141. Just one week before that failed incident the then Al-Qaeda Emir Ayman al-Zawahiri announced the establishment of Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent, led by Asim Umar a veteran jihadi on September 4, 2014 in a 55-minute video2. Since Al-Qaeda wants to spread the tentacles of its Pakistani franchise in the Indian Subcontinent, the most recent Al-Qaeda endeavour in this regard is the launching of its women wing: Al-Qaeda Shaheen (falcon) Force. According to the statement this force would be led by Afinda Bint-e-Ayesha under the tutelage of Umaima Hassan Ahmed Muhammad Hassan3, wife of Ayman al-Zawahiri4. Mrs Zawahiri has remained instrumental alongside her husband, the chief of Al-Qaeda, in mobilizing jihadi women. Time and again she has urged Muslim women to raise children for jihad. While addressing jihadi women inspiring them to participate in active jihad at a web-based jihadi forum, she said: “I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a love for religion and death. Each woman would raise her child to be a new Saladin by telling him that it is you who will restore the grandeur of the Islamic nation and you will liberate Jerusalem.”5 The newly created Shaheen Force appears to work under Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and has plans to train 500 female suicide bombers for striking civil and military installations in Pakistan6.

  • Friends, Foes and Future of ISIS in South Asia
    Friends, Foes and Future of ISIS in South Asia Introduction As the world has its eyes fixed on the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, national agendas and priorities may be (rightfully) redirected to tackling the global health crisis and its socio- economic consequences. However, one must not forget the pre-pandemic state of affairs, as certain issues and actors may be sitting in the shadows and may perhaps strike when global vigilance is at its lowest. One such actor is the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). While Western powers may have prematurely celebrated its defeat following the fall of Raqqa in 2017, the essence of ISIS is not one that can be vanquished by guns, bombs and surgical strikes alone. ISIS has succeeded in spreading its ideological tentacles to every corner of the world - including South Asia, a region which has long-been plagued by terrorism, political violence and religious extremism. ISIS first introduced itself to the South Asian region when it declared a province in Afghanistan - known as the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) - in 2015. Being a war-torn country with weak governance, multiple ongoing insurgencies and heavy involvement from the United States (US) and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), Afghanistan was a logical foothold for ISIS. The group has been engaging in a strategic Wilayat- (meaning province in Arabic) policy since its peak, and numerous provinces have mushroomed all over the globe - from West Africa to East Asia. In the case of South Asia, provinces have been declared not only in Afghanistan, but also in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
