French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, during a visit to Kabul, declared that the jihadist group of the Islamic State, after the defeat in Iraq and Syria, represents a growing threat in Afghanistan. "The foreign ISIS fighters, who arrive almost everywhere, including the neighboring countries of Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, are able to reach the areas controlled by Daesh (ISIS Arabic acronym) including those in Afghanistan" .
In fact, according to what was underlined by a French security source, even if numerically significantly lower than the Taliban, the fighters who profess to be followers of ISIS sow terror in Afghanistan with devastating attacks against the Shiites. "They increase their capabilities dramatically, with actions almost every week," stressed a French security source.
