JALALABAD: Insurgent group Islamic State (IS) group have launched anti-government radio station in Afghanistan.
According to DawnNews, IS launched the radio station to promote IS and attract new recruits.
The radio station “Voice of the Caliphate” broadcasts in Pashto through Nangarhar provincial capital Jalalabad and other districts, Nangarhar provincial council members, MPs and residents confirmed on Wednesday.
Provincial governor’s spokesman Attaullah Khogyani revealed that broadcasting location is unknown but the efforts are under way to get the station off air.
“This radio is broadcasting from across the border and we had talks and maybe we reach a good result and remove the radio,” Khogyani said without clarifying who talks had been held with.
