Pakistan’s ISI Plotting With IS, LeT To Attack Indian Missions And Infrastructure Projects in Afghanistan

Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) is clandestinely coordinating with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Islamic State to carry out car bomb suicide attacks on Indian missions in Afghanistan, reports India Today.

The Islamic State in Khorasan Province (ISKP), is very much active in the Af-Pak region and has some recruits from India. The ISI which many experts believe controls LeT gave the banned terror outfit the responsibility to partner with the IS to plot the attacks.

Recently hundreds of IS cadres along with their families surrendered to security forces in Afghanistan and 10 among them are reportedly Indians, mostly from Kerala.

In the intelligence report the name of one Saifullah, a native of Lahore is seen as the coordinator between the LeT and ISKP for the attack and Matin Mauvia is the ISKP commander in Kabul who is to execute the plans.

According to the intelligence report five suicide bombers have received training to carry out the attacks presumably against Indian Missions in Kabul, Jalalabad, and Herat provinces in Afghanistan.

Attacks are also planned against Indians working in infrastructure projects in Afghanistan. India has helped develop several infrastructures in including building of the Afghan Parliament.

In 2008, terrorists used a suicide car bomb outside the Indian embassy in Kabul killing over 40 people.
