Afghanistan and Pakistan, home to al-Qaida and Taliban militants and the focus of the longest war in U.S. history, now face a new, emerging threat from the Islamic State group, officials have told reporters.
Disenchanted extremists from the Taliban and other organizations, impressed by the Islamic State group’s territorial gains and slick online propaganda, have begun raising its black flag in extremist-dominated areas of both countries.
In Pakistan, an online video purportedly shows militants beheading a man while pledging their allegiance to the Islamic State group. In Afghanistan, there have even been reports of militant rivalries, with clashes erupting between Taliban fighters and Islamic State militants.
Analysts and officials say the number of Islamic State supporters in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region remains small and that the group faces resistance from militants with strong tribal links. However, the rise of even a small Islamic State affiliate could further destabilize the region and complicate U.S. and NATO efforts to wind down the 13-year war in Afghanistan.
The Taliban remain the region’s pre-eminent insurgency, with nearly 20 years of experience battling Afghan warlords and international troops. But the Taliban are “not a particularly sexy ideology or military force, and the risk lies in the Taliban looking increasingly out of date,” said a Western diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.
“It could be that young Afghans look to the more extreme tactics and the great glitzy publicity of the IS,” the diplomat said, using an acronym for the Islamic State group.
“They might find it attractive, or the Taliban might feel the need to compete and therefore become a bit more extreme and start carrying out horrific acts the way you see IS doing.”
The Islamic State group controls a third of both Syria and Iraq, where it has declared a caliphate governed by a harsh interpretation of Islamic law, or Shariah, and demanded the allegiance of the world’s Muslims. The Taliban, by contrast, are focused on Afghanistan and Pakistan, and some of its leaders have even responded to past peace overtures.
Smaller militant groups in Libya, Egypt, Lebanon and elsewhere have pledged allegiance to Islamic State leader and self-proclaimed caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, with some referring to themselves as “provinces.”
In Afghanistan’s southern Helmand province, residents say a former Taliban commander named Mullah Abdul Rauf has begun recruiting fighters for the Islamic State group.
“People are saying that he has raised black flags and even has tried to bring down white Taliban flags in some areas,” said Saifullah Sanginwal, a tribal leader in Sangin district. “There are reports that 19 or 20 people have been killed” in fighting between the Taliban and the Islamic State, he added.
Pakistan’s Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said in November there was no Islamic State group presence — only militants using its name. However, a government letter written a month earlier and later obtained by reporters warns local officials that the Islamic State group has begun courting militants in the area and that the extremists claim the support of up to “12,000 followers” in northwest Pakistan.
A video released in December showed female students and teachers at Islamabad’s Red Mosque, which holds great sway with Pakistan’s militants, sitting under an Islamic State flag, pledging support to al-Baghdadi as cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz said it would welcome the group. Last week, an online video released by the Islamic State group showed a former Pakistani Taliban spokesman pledging his support with more than a dozen others, before beheading a man they identified as a soldier.
The Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies, an organization based in the country’s capital and devoted to tracking militant groups, also issued a report calling the Islamic State group a “real and emerging threat for Pakistan.”
“It has created a major survival challenge for the main militant actors who could now act to prove their operational credentials,” the report said.
Taliban militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan owe their allegiance to Mullah Omar, a cleric who has led the Taliban since the 1990s but has not been seen or heard in public for years. Officials fear that an Islamic State push into the region could bring an infusion of guns and money, sparking brutal competition among local militants disenchanted with Mullah Omar’s silence and eager to prove themselves with escalating atrocities.
One former Taliban commander pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group “because he felt alienated from the Taliban leadership,” said Graeme Smith, an analyst focusing on Afghanistan for the International Crisis Group.
“He seems to be doing better as a result,” Smith added. “He seems to have more money and weapons than before and people are noticing that maybe there is some actual link that is more than symbolic.”
A senior U.S. State Department official, speaking this week in Pakistan on condition of anonymity to discuss diplomatic talks, said both Afghan and Pakistani officials shared their concerns with America about the Islamic State group seeking a regional foothold.
“There’s no daylight between us in terms of wanting to be coordinated in efforts to thwart” the Islamic State group, the official said.
At the same time, the militants would struggle to mount a real challenge to the Taliban, which is deeply enmeshed in tribal Pashtun society, said Borhan Osman, a researcher with the Afghanistan Analysts Network.
But with the attention of NATO forces and U.S. troops now focused on training Afghans — as opposed to conducting combat operations, — some worry that the Islamic State group could gain ground and pose a serious threat in the future.
“We need to be very watchful,” said Nasir Khan Durrani, police chief of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which borders the lawless tribal region and militant haven. “We need to be careful.”
Well Arun Gupta has made this terrific post in reply to a question I askedsaravana wrote:^^ Am wondering, how difficult it it for NaPak army and ISI to setup this local franchise of ISIS? With the Afghan spigot soon to be turned off, they would need a new avenue for jiziya. It is easier to setup the local chapter yourself than compete with an organic grown variety.
Just speculation onlee.

Ahead of President Barack Obama's visit to India, the US has asked Pakistan to ensure that there is no cross-border terror incident during the trip and subtly warned of "consequences" if any such attack is traced back to the country, sources said.
The warning has been issued keeping the track record of Pakistan-based militant groups that have carried out attacks in India that have coincided with high-profile visits from the US.
Militants had shot dead 36 Sikhs in March 20, 2000, in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir, coinciding with the visit of the then US President Bill Clinton to India.

At least 10,000 paramilitary troops will be deployed along with the 80,000-strong Delhi Police to ensure fool-proof security in and around Rajpath -- the main venue.
A seven-layer security ring will be thrown around the Very Very Important People or VVIP enclosure at the venue and the airspace over the area would be monitored by a radar to be specially set up.
This will form part of the planned unprecedented ground-to-air security drill that will turn the national capital into an impregnable fortress during Obama's visit.
The US forces in Afghanistan are also keeping a close eye on the activities of the terrorist groups in the region.
Typical wishful dreams and evil propaganda by Yindoos. All that has happened is that the US has asked Pakistan, the only truly Martial Power in the neighborhood, to help in keeping the US President secure when he is in South Asia. As we all know, the US also begged Pakistan desperately for help when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, and more recently after the so-called 9/11 YYY conspiracy in the US. Pakistan is the greatest Al-Lie of the US, so naturally the US has asked Pakistan for help to detect any terrorist plots.Karan M wrote:Also shows what all those comments about india and TSP should be == in peace are really worth.

Inshaallah, H&D is intact.There is no electricity for most of the day, no gas and now no petrol. We are now being told that because of the oil shortage, the power crisis will worsen. How long does the government think it has before the masses, deprived of every amenity imaginable, turn violent on the streets?

SAN FRANCISCO- According to news website Salon, Pakistan tops the list of most _*****-searching countries and leads the way in _***** searches for animals like pigs, donkeys, dogs, cats and snakes. The data was released by Google.
Also, six of the top eight _*****-searching countries were Muslim states. Egypt stood second while Iran, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Turkey came in at numbers four, five, seven and eight, respectively. The Saudi Arabian government recently disabled around 9,000 Twitter accounts linked with the publication of _*****.
Although the sale of _***** material is banned in nearly every Arab country except Lebanon and Turkey, the numbers showed different results.

What an insult! How can Pakistan be removed from any source of money? Which is more precious, 1 kilo of Bakistani hashish or 1 kilo of crude oil, hain? Qiad -e- Duh!Pakistan will be far removed from the source of money
NOW u r getting to the real issue: WHY the US taxpayer keeps supporting terrorism, in apparent congitive dissonance. Bakistan is ideal, precisely because there is a direct Jarnail-2-Jarnail channel, also connected at both ends to political netas and tycoons - of the arms industry in the US, and Karachi real estate in TSP.In fact there may be "Pakistan hands" in the US who are actively (and legally) making a lot of money ensuring that funds keep going to Pakistan.
Much as I would love to see exactly this happen - I believe it is unlikely. Guess where ISIS would use a nuke if they could get one?Tuvaluan wrote: But then the paki army, in its strategic brilliance, may well make a pact with the IS w.r.t nuclear weapons as some sort of win-win deal.
They (IS) were selling oil at $39 when the price was $100.Tuvaluan wrote:Pakistan has run out of oil, and Daesh/IS has a lot of oil that it cannot sell for the price it did a year ago, when it could get 100$ for oil and now it can barely get 30$ for the oil. Paki jihadis are eager to join some religious crowd that is green as it gets and the paki army whisky swilling jihadis are not green enough.
So
1) IS has a lot of money to pay jihadis
2) Pakis are running low on oil and this hurts the paki army most
3) IS can get more for its oil if it tried to gain an advantage for its current selling price, such as paki nuclear weapons
4) IS may well start to run its own government in Pakistan that operates as a new power center.
I suspect this development is imminent.
