In recent days, Islamic State graffiti has been appearing in more and more places in Pakistan, mainly in Taliban strongholds.
The fear that IS activity could, in addition to Iraq and Syria, spread to Pakistan was also strengthened by the alleged consent of the Pakistani Taliban to join the currently most dangerous jihadist organization, after an invitation sent to them by IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, reports B92.
For security officials, even the symbolic presence of IS in Pakistan is a problem because Al Qaeda was founded there in 1980. "It doesn't matter if IS is established in Pakistan, in any case the relationship in the country is disturbed. Terrorist groups in Pakistan are in crisis, and IS is helping them and changing their mentality," says Muhammad Amir Rana, director of the Institute for Peace Studies in Pakistan.
