International

LAHOR, PAKISTAN-Pakistani security forces have arrested a man they believe is the commander of the so-called ‘Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’ (ISIL) terrorist group operating in the country as well as two accomplices involved in recruiting and sending fighters to Syria, intelligence sources said on Wednesday as reported by the World Bulletin news website.

Three intelligence sources, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said the man, called Yousaf al-Salafi, was arrested in the eastern city of Lahore and confessed during interrogation that he represented IS (Islamic State)  in Pakistan.

“Al-Salafi is a Pakistani Syrian who reached Pakistan through Turkey five months ago,” said one source. “He crossed into Turkey from Syria and was caught there. Somehow he managed to escape and reached Pakistan to establish ISIL.”

The source said one of his accomplices, Hafiz Tayyab, was a prayer leader in Lahore and was involved in recruiting Pakistanis and sending them to fight alongside ISIL in Syria, charging the terrorist organization about $600 per person.

Pakistan witnesses explosions on daily basis in different regions and main cities, where attacks are blamed on al-Qaeda terrorist organization and affiliated groups.
