A recent terrorist attack at a concert hall in Moscow has raised suspicions of ISIS involvement. The suspects in the attack are from Tajikistan, near Afghanistan, where ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K) operates. ISIS-K seeks to establish a caliphate and conducts attacks in the region. The Taliban, now in power in Afghanistan, has combated ISIS-K internally but faces doubts about controlling its external operations. Concerns persist about ISIS-K’s global threat, particularly after recent attacks in various countries, including Russia. The need for strong intelligence to counter ISIS-K, given its reach, remains paramount.
