The Biden Administration's ISIS-K Narrative Is A Lie...A Poorly Crafted Lie

The attack on our forces at the airport was the work of an obscure ISIS offshoot called ISIS-K, and no one worked harder to prevent the attack than our new friends the Taliban.

"Every evidence we have in hand shows that IS-K cells have their roots in Talibs and Haqqani network particularly the ones operating in Kabul. Talibs denying links with ISIS is identical/similar to denial of Pak on Quetta Shura. Talibs have learned very well from the master."

An examination of attacks staged by ISIS-K shows a pattern of the group carrying out attacks on behalf of the Haqqanis but from which the Haqqanis for political reasons wish to keep a little distance.

Having ISIS-K carry out or at least claim to have carried out the attacks allows the Haqqanis to send a signal and strike opponents and yet maintain the fiction that someone else did it.

One such report in May 2020 said two Taliban commanders in Kunduz province, named Mawlawi Satar and Mawlawi Abdullah Majid, had traveled to Nangarhar province to fight for ISIS-K. The report also stated that some of the terrorist attacks claimed by ISIS-K "May have arisen wholly or partly from a tactical accommodation with the Haqqani Network."

The Haqqanis, who now control Kabul, use ISIS-K as muscle and to launch those attacks from which the Haqqanis themselves would prefer to keep a little distance.

The only option was to publicly accept the Haqqani lie.
