Pakistani Terror Group Pledges Allegiance to I.S.

From the Daily Mail:

A terrorist organisation claiming responsibility for a number of attacks in Pakistan has apparently become the first foreign extremist group to pledge their allegiance to the Islamic State currently wreaking havoc across Syria and Iraq. 

Tehreek-e-Khilafat has declared it will raise the flag of the Islamic State - formerly known as ISIS - above south Asia and Khurusan, an historical Islamic region comprising parts of Afghanistan, Iran, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. 

The move will be seen to bolster Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State, who has garnered the nickname ‘the invisible sheikh’ due to his elusive nature.
