NEW DELHI: After the deliberate strategic relocation of terror outfits, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), into Pakistan’s restive region Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province, top sources now confirm that Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) is now being subtly repurposed by the Pakistani military establishment to target Baloch nationalists and elements within the Taliban regime who defy Islamabad’s control.
Notably, recent issues of ISKP’s propaganda magazine 'Yalgaar' also indicate a disturbing shift -- an expressed intent to expand operations into Indian Kashmir, a move that appears coordinated and encouraged by Pakistan’s deep state.
Adding another layer to this nexus, according to a dossier prepared by the concerned intelligence agencies accessed by IANS, “Pakistan is reportedly facilitating cooperation between LeT and ISKP, using Lashkar’s logistical networks to bolster ISKP’s terror capabilities.”
