The Afghan national security advisor Hanif Atmar has said the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group is looking to have access to drugs market by starting operations in Afghanistan.

Speaking to lawmakers in the upper house of the parliament – Meshrano Jirga on Tuesday, Atmar, said the terror group wants to finance the group’s activities by having access to drugs market.

Atmar also warned that the terror group wants to expand its operations not only in Afghanistan but the whole region and wants infiltrate in Central Asian countries.

According to Atmar, the ISIS group is led by a Pakistani militant and the group recognizes no boundries since they have already declared the regional countries in their map as Khurasan province.

He insisted that all force must be used to fight the terror group and said the government of Afghanistan prepared a strategy two months ago where the group’s local commander was killed following an operation in Helmand province.

The remarks by Atmar comes as the group has started promoting a training camp in central Logar province of Afghanistan, located 60 km south of capital Kabul.

The training camp has been named after the Taliban commander – Ustad Yasir who was killed in 2012 in an internecine dispute.

A set of photographs which purportedly shows the group conducting training has been published online by a Pakistani reporter Saleem Mehsud.

President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani acknowledged for the first time last month that the terrorist group was gaining influence in the country.

Speaking during a press briefing ahead of his visit to United States, President Ghani said “Daesh’s characteristic is that it is man-eating. It swallows its competitors.”

“Here, it is not physical presence of people from Syria or Iraq. It is the network effect,” President Ghani added.
