Alexander Bortnikov, head of the Federal Security Service, warned that 5,000 fighters from ISIS had been deployed in northern Afghanistan.
The director of Russia’s most prevalent intelligence agency warned that as many as 5,000 members of the Islamic State militant group posed a threat on the borders of the former Soviet Union.
The Russian spy chief said the buildup of terrorists in the region had led to an escalation of tensions in central Asia as the ISIS fighters exploited porous borders."Members of international terrorist organizations use refugee and labor migration flows for covert movement from combat zones and countries bordering them to other regions," the FSB head said.
The Islamic State’s offshoot in Afghanistan and Pakistan pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2014. Along with insurgents from central Asian former Soviet republics, the group also included a number of former Taliban fighters drawn to ISIS international brand.
