WASHINGTON DC (Web Desk) – An apparent Islamic State (IS) recruitment document found in Pakistan has revealed that the terrorist organisation plans to target Pakistan and India and create an Armageddon-like “end of the world”.
USA Today reports, IS aims to build a new terrorist army in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The 32-page document in Urdu details a plot to attack US soldiers as they withdraw from Afghanistan and target American diplomats and Pakistani officials.
After reviewing the documents, US intelligence officials have confirmed its authenticity based on its unique markings, language used to describe leaders, the writing style and religious wording match other IS documents.
The undated document, titled “A Brief History of the Islamic State Caliphate (ISC), The Caliphate According to the Prophet,” seeks to unite Pakistani and Afghan Taliban into a single army of terror.
In January, Pakistan security forces arrested local commander of IS, Yousaf al Salafi from Lahore. He confessed of getting funds routed through the United States for recruiting young men to fight in Syria.
