ISIS-K Under Leadership of Shahab al-Muhajir Grows in Strength Under Protection of Taliban in Afghanistan and Will Target US interests in 6 Months.

ISIS-K Under Leadership of Shahab al-Muhajir Grows in Strength Under Protection of Taliban in Afghanistan and Will Target US interests in 6 Months (they already have). DEAD or ALIVE: ISIS-K boss Shahab al-Muhajir has a $10 Million Dollar bounty on his head through US Rewards For Justice Program, he is a former member of Al-Qaeda. The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program is offering a reward of up to $10 million each for information leading to the identification or location of ISIS-K leader Shahab al-Muhajir also known as Sanaullah Ghafari, and for information leading to the arrest or conviction in any country of those responsible for the August 26, 2021, terrorist attack at the Kabul airport. In June 2020, Sanaullah Ghafari was appointed by the ISIS core to lead ISIS-K. Ghafari is responsible for approving all ISIS-K operations throughout Afghanistan and arranging funding to conduct operations. On November 22, 2021, the Department of State designated Ghafari as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, as amended. 

UPDATE FRIDAY 3/17/2023 - THERE HERE IN NYC...NY Post: Ridon Kola an ISIS-loving radical Islamic extremist from Yonkers NY was busted by the feds Friday for plotting to kill the city’s police officers and Yonkers mayor beginning on the street where the local Yonkers St. Patrick’s Day parade was set to go down on Saturday, authorities said Friday. Ridon Kola, 32, directly messaged the Yonkers police, saying “I will crucify Yonkers cops and their bosses all along McLean ave. It will be a horror scene . . . Allahu Ekberr,” according to federal authorities. On November 19, 2021, RIDON KOLA posted to a YPD official social media account a message in Albanian that translated to the following: “I am going to slaughter you little girls.” Though Kola didn’t directly threaten the parade, McLean Avenue is the street where the city’s St. Patrick’s Day event is scheduled for Saturday — and it prompted officials to quickly bust him Friday so he couldn’t do any damage.

On August 26, 2021, ISIS terrorists launched a suicide bombing against Kabul airport as the United States and other governments conducted a large-scale evacuation of their citizens and vulnerable Afghans from the country. At least 185 people were killed in the attack, including 13 U.S. service members supporting evacuation operations. More than 150 people, including 18 U.S. service members, were wounded. ISIS-K claimed responsibility for the attack. The Defense Department identified the 13 U.S. service members who died in an attack outside of the Kabul airport.

CENTCOM commander Gen. Michael Kurilla said ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K) – the Afghanistan branch of the Islamic State terror group – has been growing in strength under the Taliban’s rule of the country following the end of the US’ 20-year war there. Kurilla declined to publicly share why he assessed the group would be ready to strike outside Afghanistan’s borders soon, saying he would tell lawmakers his reasoning in a subsequent closed session. However, the general attributed some of the terror network’s growth in Afghanistan to the Taliban’s destructive leadership there. “Extremist groups see opportunity, and ISIS-Khorasan grows emboldened, seeking to expand its ranks and inspire enable and direct attacks in the region and beyond – with the ultimate goal to strike on the American homeland,” he said. Al-Qaeda and the self-proclaimed Islamic State in Khorasan are growing in strength under the protection of the Taliban since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, just like prior to Sept 11, 2001. A UN Security Council assessment concluded [PDF], “terrorist groups enjoy greater freedom in Afghanistan than at any time in recent history.” The group’s operational leaders remain mainly in the Syrian Arab Republic, while some of its other leaders, who provide mostly financial and logistical support, are present in neighboring countries. Shahab al-Muhajir is an Islamist terrorist, serving as the Emir of Islamic State – Khorasan Province since 2020. His real name is Sanaullah Ghafari. He is a citizen of Iraq. Formerly Shahab al-Muhajir was a mid-level Haqqani network commander (an Islamist militant group affiliated with the Taliban) and a member of Al-Qaeda before defecting and becoming the leader of the ISIS-K that had been greatly opposed to the Taliban.

Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K) is the Islamic State’s Central Asian province and remains active six years after its inception. The Islamic State announced its expansion to the Khorasan region in 2015, which historically encompasses parts of modern day Iran, Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Despite initial skepticism about the group’s existence from analysts and government officials alike, IS-K has been responsible for nearly 100 attacks against civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as roughly 250 clashes with the U.S., Afghan, and Pakistani security forces since January 2017. The relationship between the Afghan Taliban and ISKP has grown favorably. Elements of the Haqqani Network, which has been integrated into the Taliban, have allegedly coordinated with ISKP on some occasions. For example, the Afghan Ministry of Defense claimed that at least one 2018 attack claimed by ISKP was in fact carried out by Haqqani Network fighters. The Islamic State formed as an offshoot of al Qaeda that diverged ideologically, including in its belief in violence against Shia civilians. Although both groups advocate a violent struggle against the “far enemy” (the West), the Islamic State also emphasizes fighting the “near enemy” (apostates in the region). The Islamic State operates under a global offensive jihad to rid its territory of both foreign infidels—nonbelievers of Islam—and apostates and endorses violence against the local community if they object to the adherence to sharia and do not conform to Islamic State dogma.
