ISLAMABAD, March 31. /TASS/. The Islamic State terrorist group (outlawed in Moscow) is not in a position to recruit militants in Afghanistan, Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the the interim Afghan government formed by the Taliban movement (outlawed in Russia), said,

According to Mujahid, allegations about the activities of Islamic State cells in Afghanistan are reared to "magnify" the threat coming from the group.

"Some organizations are using the name and status of Islamic State and overrate its significance in their political purposes," the Tolo News television channel quoted him as saying. "Some intelligence communities may share wrong information with certain countries and mass media outlets, which leads to mistakes.".
