The fight against IS Leaked documents show that Afghanistan has become an IS stronghold
Two years after the United States and many other Western countries left Afghanistan, the country has become the coordination point of the terrorist group Islamic State.It shows leaked US intelligence documents that the Washington Post has seen.
The documents come from the so-called Pentagon leak and show how IS, among other things, planned terrorist acts in Europe and against the football World Cup in Qatar. The Pentagon writes that the terrorist organization in Afghanistan has succeeded in creating a system where attacks can be coordinated all over the world.
"The system will probably lead to IS being able to bypass obstacles, such as competent security services, which minimizes the possibility of disrupting their operations," the document says.
