Hundreds of Taliban Fighters Join ISIS: Commanders

Hundreds of Taliban fighters have joined a new branch of ISIS in Pakistan, three militant commanders in the country told NBC News. The surge of new recruits has stemmed from the remains of existing terror groups targeted by the Pakistani government's 10-month military campaign, a Pakistani ISIS leader told NBC News. The new ISIS chapter was being led by Hafiz Saeed Khan from its headquarters in Baloshistan, a lawless and desperately poor Pakistani province, according to Mufti Hassan Swati, who claims to be the deputy head of ISIS in Pakistan.
