Who are ISIS-K? (Islamic State in Afghanistan) | 5 Minute History Episode 8

The most famous Islamist group to emerge from Afghanistan are the Taliban who recently swept to power following a 2 decades long war against the NATO-backed government. However, it isn't the only such group, and as has recently come to light in the attacks at Kabul Airport, IS-K, Islamic St*te - Khorasan Province is still a force to be reckoned with inside the country. In this video find out about this little-known group, their origins, modus operandi and relationship with the Taliban.

Note: At 5:02 when describing the US service people killed I say 'servicemen' however two of the casualties were women so wanted to rectify that here.
