Daesh elements ‘completely’ curbed in Afghanistan: Qane
Abdul Matin Qane, spokesman for the Ministry of Interior Affairs, says the subversive elements of Daesh in Afghanistan have been “completely” curbed, and there is no cause for concern in this regard.
Qane made these remarks in response to concerns raised by some countries and organizations regarding the potential infiltration of Daesh members into Afghanistan under the guise of migrants.
Qane added: “It is well known that the command and control of Daesh have always been external and orchestrated from outside. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has minor concerns that Daesh members might enter the country from neighboring countries as migrants, but our intelligence and security forces are directly monitoring the borders and will not allow this.”
In a report, Hans-Jakob Schindler, a former coordinator of the UN committee monitoring militant groups, told AFP: “The risk that Islamic State Khorasan sees these newly arrived Afghans as a potential recruitment pool is high.”
