The U.K.'s Express reports that, according to Russian sources, Taliban that have pledged loyalty to ISIS have amassed on the norther border of Afghanistan.
The jihadi hate group could be trying to open up a new front to the north of its territories after being pegged back in Syria by Russian airstrikes.
The invasion would be a swipe at Vladimir Puitin as it would take them into the former Soviet states of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, which are still beholden to Moscow.
They would also secure control of lucrative drug trafficking routes taking raw opium from Afghanistan to be sold as heroin on the streets of Russia and Europe.
ISIS has been looking to grow its presence in Asia and has active cells in India, Pakistan and Malaysia.
