SHIBERGHAN (Pajhwok): Some residents of northern Jawzjan province have claimed expert mentors from Sudan, Chechnya, Uzbekistan and France have been training newly-recruited members of Daesh or the so-called Islamic State (IS) in Darz Ab district.
A resident of the locality, who declined to give his name, said Daesh was expanding presence in the district after defeating the Taliban.
“Daesh plans to expand its influence as the group has sent messages to Taliban members in nearby provinces to either join them or face destruction,” he said . . .
