ISLAMABAD: Pakistan asked Afghanistan on Thursday to hand over the chief of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) Khorasan, Aslam Farooqi, for his involvement in “anti-Pakistan activities”. Farooqi was arrested by Afghan authorities on April 5.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Afghanistan’s ambassador to Pakistan was called to the ministry and conveyed that Pakistan had been expressing its concerns over the activities of this group, which were clearly detrimental to Pakistan.
Pakistan’s position in this regard was being regularly shared with the Afghanistan government and others, it added. The ambassador was told that since Farooqi was involved in anti-Pakistan activities in Afghanistan, he should be handed-over to Pakistan for further investigations.
It was further underlined that the two sides should coordinate actions against the menace of terrorism, including through established mechanisms.
