Terrorism Threats in Central Asia

We,

mm, understand that it will take a long

time to overcome the set legacy left by the

United States and NATO countries after two decades of

occupation of Afghanistan.

We take into account the fact that in the Afghan

regions bordering Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan,

according to available data, there are,

there remains a serious presence of terrorists and extremist groups,

their training camps, and their strongholds.

Members of these groups are attempting to enter the territory

of Central Asian states,

including under the guise of tourists or refugees.

The main danger in our assessment

and our special services comes from the militants of the

Wilayat Khorasan group. It's a regional unit of the

international terrorist organization, Islamic State,

and it openly seeks to undermine the ability of the government in

Kabul to maintain stability in the country.

At the same time, the radicals want to use Afghanistan as

a kind of a springboard for transferring terrorist

activities to Central Asia and the Russian Federation.
