"ISIS-K's Growing Threat: From Moscow to the West"
ISIS-K, a terrorist group based in Afghanistan, has grown in strength and global reach since the U.S. withdrawal, posing a significant threat to international security. The group, known for its ruthless tactics, has targeted foreign entities and carried out attacks in multiple countries, including the recent massacre in Moscow. With a sophisticated online recruitment campaign and a transnational network, ISIS-K has become the most capable branch of the global ISIS terror organization, signaling the possible re-emergence of ISIS worldwide. The group's leader, Sananullah Ghafari, has extended recruitment to disaffected youth and non-Salafists, drawing new members from Afghanistan and across Central Asia.
