About Islamic State – Khorasan Province
The Islamic State – Khorasan Province is a regional branch of the Salafi jihadist group Islamic State (IS) active in Central and South Asia, primarily Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. ISIS–K seeks to destabilize and replace current governments within the historic Greater Khorasan region encompassing modern-day Central Asian polities, with the goal of establishing a caliphate, governed under a strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law, which they plan to expand beyond the region through the establishment of a worldwide Islamic state.
