As battle in Mosul unfolds, ISIS looks to Pakistan for fresh recruits
2016-11-14
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] ISIS is increasing its presence in Pakistain, recruiting Uzbek turbans, attracting disgruntled Taliban fighters and partnering with one of Pakistain’s most violent sectarian groups, according to coppers, Taliban officials and analysts.

Its latest atrocity was an attack Saturday on a Sufi shrine in southwestern Pakistain that killed at least 50 people and maimed 100 others. The group said in a statement that a jacket wallah attacked the shrine with the intent of killing Shiite Moslems and issued a picture of the attacker.

When ISIS circulated a photograph of one of the attackers in last month’s deadly assault on a police academy in southwestern Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
province, two Taliban officials told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that the attacker was an Uzbek, most likely a member of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.

The Taliban officials, both of whom are familiar with the IMU, spoke on condition of anonymity because their leadership has banned them from talking to the media.

Authorities initially said the police academy attack was orchestrated by bully boyz hiding out in Afghanistan and blamed Pakistain’s virulently anti-Shiite group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi
... a 'more violent' offshoot of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of. They are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of al-Qaeda ...
. But ISIS later grabbed credit and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi front man Ali Bin Sufyan said they partnered with ISIS to carry out the assault.
