داعش خراسان نے وسطی ایشیا میں اپنا اثر و رسوخ کیسے بڑھایا؟ داعش خراسان میں وسطی ایشیائی جنگجوؤں کی شمولیت کا آغاز 2015 میں اسلامی تحریکِ ازبکستان (IMU) اور جنداللہ کی جانب سے داعش سے بیعت کے بعد ہوا۔ 2021 میں افغانستان کا کنٹرول طالبان کے ہاتھ میں آنے اور اس کے بعد داعش خراسان کی سرگرمیوں میں دوبارہ اضافے کے ساتھ تنظیم نے وسطی ایشیائی ممالک کو اپنی توجہ کا اہم مرکز بنا لیا۔ اس کے بعد کئی بڑی سرحد پار دہشت گرد کارروائیوں میں وسطی ایشیائی جنگجو ملوث رہے۔ ضلع درزاب کے ازبک نژاد افغان طالبان گورنر کی جانب سے داعش خراسان سے بیعت کے بعد تنظیم کو ازبک، چیچن اور تاجک جنگجوؤں میں اپنا اثر و رسوخ بڑھانے کا موقع ملا۔ 2021 سے وسطی ایشیائی ممالک افغانستان میں داعش خراسان کی موجودگی کو اپنی سلامتی کے لیے ایک بڑا خطرہ قرار دیتے آئے ہیں، خصوصاً اجتماعی سلامتی معاہدہ تنظیم (CSTO) کے رکن ممالک نے اس خطرے پر تشویش کا اظہار کیا ہے۔ اسی تناظر میں افغانستان کے ساتھ تاجکستان کی سرحد کو مزید محفوظ بنانے کے لیے CSTO کی معاونت سے اقدامات بھی کیے گئے۔ داعش خراسان کی بین الاقوامی دہشت گرد کارروائیوں میں وسطی ایشیائی جنگجوؤں کا کردار نمایاں رہا ہے۔ ماسکو کے کروکس سٹی ہال حملے اور ایران میں ہونے والے دہشت گرد حملے میں ملوث وسطی ایشیائی جنگجوؤں کے افغانستان جانے کے شواہد بھی سامنے آئے ہیں۔ اس کے علاوہ، اقوامِ متحدہ کی ایک رپورٹ میں صوبہ بدخشاں کے ضلع یامگان میں داعش خراسان کے ایک تربیتی مرکز کا ذکر کیا گیا ہے، جو افغانستان میں تنظیم کے بھرتی اور تربیت کے نیٹ ورک کی موجودگی کو ظاہر کرتا ہے۔

This is not the first instance of terrorists exploiting mosques as hideouts, in blatant violation of the sanctity of places of worship. The hideouts were deliberately used to store explosive materials and operate torture cells. The use of mosques for such activities by Indian-backed terrorists demonstrates their disregard for the fundamental teachings of Islam. Their actions and distorted interpretation of religion have nothing to do with Islam and are rejected by the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Pakistan.
NEWS ALERT: Pakistani security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation in Muzak village, on the southern outskirts of Mir Ali, North Waziristan District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, targeting terrorist hideouts. During the operation, two hideouts established inside mosques were cleared. Security forces recovered a large cache of prepared improvised explosive devices (IEDs), explosive-making materials, weapons and ammunition. The hideouts were being used to store explosives and operate torture cells. A sanitisation operation is ongoing to locate and eliminate any remaining terrorist infrastructure in the area.
