But why Afghanistan? The ISPK operates from Afghanistan and claims the historical region of Khorasan, which stretches across several Central Asian states. According to the international non-profit organization Counter Extremism Project, the ISPK is a kind of showcase project for the IS headquarters in Syria and Iraq. Most IS groups emerged from the Al-Qaeda network, says Hans-Jakob Schindler of the Counter Extremism Project. The ISPK, on the other hand, was founded by the IS headquarters in Syria. The group also receives its money from there - in contrast to other IS offshoots, which have to finance themselves, says Schindler.”"
