ISLAMABAD: A majority of militants fleeing operations in Pakistan's Mohmand and Orakzai agencies joined the Afghan chapter of the militant Islamic State (IS) group, Afghanistan's Ambassador to Pakistan Janan Mosazai said on Wednesday.
Addressing a seminar in Islamabad, the Afghan envoy said IS has become a major threat in the region.
About 60 to 70 per cent militants fleeing Pakistan during offensives in Mohmand and Orakzai went on to join IS in Afghanistan, Mosazai claimed.
