Quick Glance: The remarkable evolution of ISIS-K's leader into a formidable group
  • Sanaullah Ghafari, in his role as the leader of the Afghan branch of Islamic State, played a significant role in the transformation into an extremely menacing branch of the global Islamist network, capable of conducting operations far from their bases in the border regions of Afghanistan.

  • The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the massacre at a concert hall near Moscow that resulted in the deaths of at least 137 people. U.S. officials indicated that the Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), was responsible.

  • Ghafari has enhanced the group's strength through his firm ideology and notable attacks. He has made repeated attempts to target Russia in response to its involvement in the Syrian civil war, which contributed to defeating ISIS' regional operations.

  • By using high-profile attacks as a tool for recruitment, the group has focused on ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks in Central Asia. ISIS-K is planning to escalate its foreign operations, including attacks against the United States.

Quick Glance: Putin Blames Radical Islamists for Moscow Concert Hall Attack
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin states for the first time that 'radical Islamists' were behind the attack on a concert hall outside Moscow, suggesting Ukraine was also somehow involved.

  • During Friday's attack, camouflaged gunmen stormed into Crocus City Hall, opened fire on concert-goers, and set the building ablaze, resulting in at least 137 deaths.

  • Putin did not mention the ISIL (ISIS) affiliate that claimed responsibility for the attack. The Islamic State in Khorasan Province has repeatedly claimed responsibility since Friday, with affiliated media channels releasing graphic videos of the attackers.

  • Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to assign blame and refused to comment on reports that the US warned Moscow authorities on March 7 about a possible attack, citing confidentiality of such intelligence.
