Afghanistan refuses to hand over captured ISIS-Khorasan head to Pakistan
|
[AA.TR] Afghanistan on Friday rejected Pakistain's demand to hand over the suspected leader of a ISIS-linked group nabbed by Afghan cops earlier this week.
 The Foreign Ministry said in a statement the ISIS leader, Abdullah Orakzai, also known as Aslam Farooqi, a Pak-origin suspected turban, is wanted for a number of gruesome terrorist attacks and would be tried in line with laws in Afghanistan.
"Afghanistan does not discriminate between terrorists, it takes equal legal actions against all and is committed to all anti-terrorism commitments," it said.
It further noted that since there is no agreement between Pakistain and Afghanistan on the extradition of suspects and convicts, Farooqi will be dealt in line with laws in Afghanistan.
"The two countries can make joint efforts for exchange of information under the Afghanistan-Pakistain Action Plan for Peace and Solidarity (APAPPS), which will help in the fight against terrorism," the ministry added.

(NDS) announced the arrest of Farooqi on April 6.
His arrest came days after the group grabbed credit for a deadly terrorist attack on a Sikh worship place in Kabul, which killed 25 people.
On Thursday, Islamabad summoned the Afghan ambassador to the Foreign Ministry and said that since Farooqi was involved in anti-Pakistain activities in Afghanistan, he should be handed over to Pakistain for further investigations.
