military operation are trying to join the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Lion of Islam group in the country.

In a letter to divisional police chiefs, intelligence agencies and the counter-terrorism department of Punjab, the home department said there were reports that some Lion of Islam groups of Pakistain were joining the IS, also known as ?Daish?, because of its anti-Shia policies.

But it also revealed that there were groups which were resisting the IS.

The letter said there were some intelligence reports that the ?Salafi? groups were inclined towards ?Daish? which might be seeking support from jihadi outfits and Lion of Islam groups.

The home department has directed law-enforcement agencies to keep an eye on individuals associated with banned outfits and their activities.

Earlier, intelligence agencies had informed the Punjab government about the presence of a group of IS activists in the country.

There have been reports that Jundullah and a few Punjabi terrorist groups have prepared literature promoting the message of ?Daish? and that some of the groups may be behind pro-IS graffiti in urban areas.

The Regional Police Officer of Rawalpindi, Akhtar Umar Hayat Laleka, said that police had its own mechanism to monitor the activities of people belonging to banned outfits. According to him, no signs of Daish have so far been found in Rawalpindi division.

Police, he said, had not received any report about Uzbeks or Chechens joining the IS, adding that some individuals associated with banned outfits could be involved in wall-chalking with the motive of creating panic.
