Chinese envoy Fu Cong warned of active collaborations among IS-K, al-Qaida, and the East Turkestan Islamic Movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia&#8217;s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, attributed the rise of IS-K to the rapid withdrawal of NATO troops in 2021, which left behind substantial weaponry. Meanwhile, Pakistan&#8217;s envoy Munir Akram challenged claims of IS-K recruitment in Pakistan, asserting that Afghanistan remains the primary hub for the group&#8217;s activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite Taliban claims of diminishing IS-K influence, the group continues to execute attacks, including a recent suicide bombing that killed a senior Taliban official.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a Security Council meeting on Monday, United Nations counterterrorism officials expressed grave concerns over the Islamic State-Khorasan (IS-K), an affiliate of the Islamic State operating in Afghanistan, VOA reported.
