Intelligence Bureau Chief Says ISIS Growing in Pakistan

BY ALBERT FORD

Testifying before the Pakistani senate standing committee on interior and narcotics control on Wednesday, Aftab Sultan, Director General Intelligence Bureau, said the Islamic State (IS) is expanding in Pakistan and coordinating with the Pakistani Taliban (ET). “There are reports of fighters being recruited by sectarian and other outfits, and being sent to Syria. The number of people leaving from Pakistan to Syria to join IS are in the hundreds,” he said. Sultan referenced IS attacks on media houses and schools as well, though stated terrorist attacks on the whole have decreased due to Operation Zarb-e-Azb.
