The NDS also stated that after the killing of Abu Saeed Bajawri, Farooqi was appointed as ISIS’s shadow governor in Afghanistan.
Farooqi was "enjoying close relations" with the other terrorist groups such as the "Haqqani network" and "Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... ," said the statement.
South Asia Islamic State is mainly focused on a small presence in Afghanistan, largely in the north, though it has waged high profile attacks further south in the capital.

We’ve seen so many photos of civilians in interesting parts of the world standing around in the middle of firefights, Abu Uluque, watching as if it were a television show for their amusement. It seems to many anyone who does that has no cause to complain, but I lack the exquisite sensibilities journalists are trained to express.
#GNA’s Al-Sarraj mourned the chairman of his intelligence Abdelgader Tuhami. The latter was abducted by RADA detterrant force few days ago and he passed away in #GNA prisons under torture , and his body and forensic analysis report we’re not shown to his family .#Libyapic.twitter.com/GuW3K1EvNK
RADA Special Deterrence Forces (Arabic: وزارة الداخلية قـــوةْ الـــرَدَعْ الخـَــاصَـــةْ) is a Madkhali[1] radical Islamist special operations military police unit formed in Tripoli Libya for the purpose of tackling crime. It is also known as Ministry of Interior RADAA Special forces or the Ministry of Interior – RADA Special Deterrence Forces, or commonly, "RADA". Its focus is high-profile kidnappings,[2] murders, drug and alcohol poisoning related deaths, illegal migrant smuggling, weapons smuggling, explosives smuggling, terrorist attacks and plots. A lack of political power and police presence in Tripoli provoked the founding of this special unit.
The leader is Abdul Raouf Kara.

Wait, what?!
Evidence has been presented to the head of investigations at the Attorney General’s office, Sadiq Assour, of Belhaj’s presence in meetings with the head of Hamas in Libya in which secret shipments of weapons to Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... and to forces of Evil in Egypt’s Sinai province were organised.

[Jpost] Three United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... peacekeepers were killed and four severely maimed after a routine patrol hit improvised bombs in the northern Mali region of Aguelhok, the United Nations said on Sunday.
"We will combine all efforts to identify and apprehend those responsible for these terrorist acts so that they can answer for their crimes," Mahamat Saleh Annadif, UN mission chief in Mali, said in a statement.
[Jpost] Four Tajik men have been detained in Poland on charges of trying to recruit Moslem converts to carry out terrorist attacks, authorities said on Monday.
The four would be expelled and barred from reentering Poland and the rest of Europe's Schengen area, Stanislaw Zaryn, the front man for the minister coordinating special forces, said.
"They were trying to recruit people who could be used to commit some kind of terrorist crimes," Zaryn told Rooters.
"They were inspired by ISIS (Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... ) ... but they were not a part of the organization," he said.
A Lebanese citizen was detained in April accused of trying to organize an Islamist network in Poland and other EU countries.
In 2019 Polish security services arrested two far-right sympathizers accused of planning attacks against Moslems.
Internal Border Guard officers detained the Tajik men on May 7 on the basis of evidence collected by the Internal Security Agency (ABW), Zaryn said in a statement.
Special forces are under the control of interior minister Mariusz Kaminski.
