McCall claims Daesh has been revived in Afghanistan

Michael McCall, the chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee said over the weekend that the US is witnessing a resurgence of Daesh in the Afghanistan region.

In a discussion with America’s ABC television, McCall said one thing he was “worried about, is with the fall of Afghanistan and the debacle, … we are seeing a resurgence of ISIS and ISIS-K (Daesh) in the Khorasan region between Afghanistan and Pakistan that concerns me greatly.”

McCall added that eight people with ties to Daesh recently entered the United States.

“We know that eight ISIS individuals have entered the United States. … So you really have two types of threats.

“One is operational; the other one is inspired attacks, radicalized over the internet. They’re both equally lethal, and they need to be focused on to stop it,” he said.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has however repeatedly said that Daesh has been eliminated in Afghanistan.
