Lahore, Pakistan: Suspect terrorist Noreen Leghari did not go to Syria to join Daesh and she misguided her family through a text message that she had reached “the land of Khalafat—Syria.
Initial investigation indicate that there is possibility that arrested terrorist Noreen Leghari and killed terrorist have no links with Daesh rather they were working for Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Investigators are worried because Noreen was not the only girl from Sindh who was missing as there are 13 other well educated girls those are missing from Sindh and could already join terrorist organisation.
Intelligence agencies believe that there is possibility that TTP is using brand name of Daesh for online recruitment with the active support of Indian intelligence agency RAW for hiding this new dimension of terrorism in Pakistan.
