(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) The militant ISIS group may have some individuals in Pakistan but they are not a major cause of concern says the chief spokesman for the Pakistani military.
In reply to a question about the ISIS presence in Pakistan during an interview to VOA Deewa (Pashto service) ISPR chief Maj-Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa said: “There could be isolated cases where they are trying to show their presence or to become relevant but I don’t see this growing into a major threat.”
About the Operation Zarb-i-Azb Gen Bajwa said the military had already pushed the militants out of their main access route and from two arteries in North Waziristan the east-west Bannu-Dattakhel corridor and Ghulam Khan and Spinwam Shiva routes.
