ISI backing small jihadi outfits in Afghanistan to hinder Taliban, says report

Pakistan’s ISI is sponsoring and putting together an alliance of smaller jihadi groups in Afghanistan, distinct from the Taliban and the ISKP, according to a new report. These new jehadists are distinguished by their even more extreme ideology and apparently undermine the Taliban. A new report in Foreign Policy says the Islamic Invitation Alliance (IIA) has been funded by the ISI and was created in 2020, and has been on the radar of US intelligence for over a year.
