ISIS-K, Blamed in Moscow Attack, Has Hit at Taliban’s Russia Links
Quick Glance: The remarkable evolution of ISIS-K's leader into a formidable group
  • Sanaullah Ghafari, in his role as the leader of the Afghan branch of Islamic State, played a significant role in the transformation into an extremely menacing branch of the global Islamist network, capable of conducting operations far from their bases in the border regions of Afghanistan.

  • The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the massacre at a concert hall near Moscow that resulted in the deaths of at least 137 people. U.S. officials indicated that the Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), was responsible.

  • Ghafari has enhanced the group's strength through his firm ideology and notable attacks. He has made repeated attempts to target Russia in response to its involvement in the Syrian civil war, which contributed to defeating ISIS' regional operations.

  • By using high-profile attacks as a tool for recruitment, the group has focused on ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks in Central Asia. ISIS-K is planning to escalate its foreign operations, including attacks against the United States.

Quick Glance: Pakistan: Zardari Elected President for Second Term
  • Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of Pakistan's first female leader Benazir Bhutto, was elected president for a second time on Saturday, following elections tainted by rigging claims.

  • Zardari was elected with 411 votes, while the opposition-backed candidate received 181 votes.

  • Lawmakers of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) voted Zardari into the largely ceremonial post, backed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party in an alliance formed after the February 8 polls.

  • Under the coalition agreement, which also includes a few smaller parties, PML-N's Shehbaz Sharif was sworn in as prime minister on Monday.
