The American Media Institute (AMI) obtained a 32-page Urdu language document from a Pakistani citizen with ties to the Taliban. The document contains details concerning a plot to target American diplomats and Pakistani officials as well as US soldiers during their withdrawal from Afghanistan, USA Today reported on Tuesday.
Due to the unique markings and writing style used to describe leaders in the text, the officials believe it is an authentic ISIL document.
The plan as revealed by the document is to unite various factions of Pakistani and Afghan Taliban into a single ‘army of terror,’ said the report. It also mentions ‘preparations’ for an attack on India that would aggravate ‘the final battle’ with the US and allies.
Apart from including a previously unseen history of the terrorist group, the document calls for al-Qaeda to join the militants and together commit violence across the world.
“Accept the fact that this caliphate will survive and prosper until it takes over the entire world and beheads every last person,” who disobeys the Takfiri ideology, the document states. “This is the bitter truth, swallow it.”
The document was studied by Retired Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lieutenant General Michael Flynn who described it is a “red flag” representing ISIL’s “intent, goals and objectives.”
