Islamic State in Afghanistan is determined to attack the West, US intelligence reports warns

The Islamic State and its affiliates in Afghanistan are determined to carry out attacks against the United States, a recent report by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) says.

However, the DIA clarifies that it currently lacks specific intelligence regarding an ISIS plot to target the U.S. homeland from Afghanistan. Instead, the DIA suggests that these groups are more likely to exploit English-language media to inspire sympathizers to carry out attacks within the United States.
