Two of Al-Azhar’s Tajik students have been recently arrested for trying to join ISIS
At least 300 students of Egypt’s Al-Azhar University are associated to the IS terrorist group.
It had been reported earlier that IS seeks to recruit foreign students studying at Al-Azhar.
Two of Al-Azhar’s Tajik students have been recently arrested for trying to join IS.
The IS terrorist group, which is mainly operating in Iraq and Syria, has in recent months spread its acts of terror to a number of North African countries, including Egypt.
In July, terrorists affiliated with IS claimed responsibility for a deadly roadside bombing in Egypt’s volatile Sinai Peninsula.
