Making inroads: IS wall chalking surfaces in DI Khan
Wall chalking in favour of the international terror outfit, the so-called Islamic State (IS), also known as Daish, was spotted in DI Khan city on Wednesday and promptly removed by the police.
According to a police official, messages welcoming IS stating ‘Daish Zindabad’ were found inscribed on the wall of a government high school for boys in Mohallah Lagharayan Wala. He added police rushed to the site and removed the slogans upon learning of the graffiti.
“This seems to be the work of someone wanting to make mischief because there is no presence of Daish in DI Khan,” said the policeman.
Graffiti in support of Daish has previously surfaced in Peshawar and Bannu, alarming law-enforcement agencies and locals.
Meanwhile, unidentified people fired rockets on a sugar mill in the city in the early hours of Wednesday. A policeman said four rockets were fired at Miran Sugar Mill around 4am. One fell on a tractor-trolley, damaging it, while another fell on a boiler. Two more fell inside the building of the mill, damaging the walls.
According to the police, an investigation is under way.

@Lala: This is nothing new. There have always been Islamists in Pakistan but now they are aligning with a evil murderous lot. The urban educated Pakistanis should be afraid.
It requires swift punishment as Daish is grossly unislamic and must be declared so by all political parties such as JI, and JUI all wings. The Ulema council and the Madrasa boards must declare it so or they must be banned. That is where these cancerous growth will take place and if Pakistan government will not take prophylactic action to stop the introduction of this disease, later on many people will be murdered in Pakistan in the name of Islam. The choice is yours to make, PML N./ Nawaz Sharif Mr. prime Minister.
Time to ask the so called Mullas like Sami ul Haq, Diesel, Aziz of Zarrar, and talk show hosts who had supported Taliban to come out clean or be punished under the new Military courts.
@Lala: Excuse me, are IS acts any close as Islamic teachings??
Islamic Rule is coming to Pakistan !!
