ISLAMABAD:
Afghan Taliban have sent a delegation to meet the self proclaimed caliph of Islamic state-Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, and assure him that they are not opposed to the activities of the ultra-extremist group in Afghanistan.
Leaders of the Fidayee Mahaz or the Islamic Movement of Afghanistan will hold talks with Baghdadi or the group’s other leaders days after the Taliban warned the IS leaders to stay away from Afghanistan as its emergence will divide the ‘Mujahideen’ that could harm their resistance against the foreign forces.
IS, also known by its Arabic acronym Da’ish, has yet not formally responded to the Taliban letter.
