IS Spreading To Pakistan, Afghanistan: Canadian Spy Chief
MARCH 11TH, 2015
TORONTO: The head of Canada’s spy agency warned that the Islamic State is spreading to Libya, Pakistan and Afghanistan, CBC News reported.
Speaking to the members of Senate Defence Committee, Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) chief Michael Coulombe said although focus has now turned to IS, we must not forget longer-running groups such as the al Qaeda.
“ISIS started in Iraq and Syria, but what we’re seeing now, and you’ve seen it in media, it’s spreading in Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan,” Coulombe said, adding that ”Boko Haram just pledged allegiance to ISIS; so there’s also this phenomenon of ISIS spreading.”
Canada’s top security officials appeared before the Senate defence committee on Monday over the government’s plans to extend the reach of CSIS overseas.
