The so-called Islamic State militants profess to kill Shia Muslims across DI Khan if they do not follow their rulings and raise their flags.

An envelope bearing a threat letter has been delivered to Shiite Muslims across Dera Ismail Khan demanding allegiance to ISIS or getting killed.

The message was clear accept our form of Islam or be mutilated. Shiites remain the only faction that has defended the true essence of Islam in 1400 years of history and have sacrificed innocent blood for its sanctity.

The letter portrayed to be of ISIS, actually has been hand written by Hussain Muawaiya Unit of the proscribed Sipah Sahaba Pakistan (SSP).

ISIS has no structure of erecting UNIT in the country or anywhere in the world, the UNIT structure in DI Khan particularly (Hussain Muawiya Unit) is of SSP.

Shiite leaders from varied organizations and clerics have appealed the authorities to take immediate notice of the cliams.
