Sultan Aziz Azam, the spokesperson for ISIS-K and founder of the organization’s official media wing, Al-Azam Foundation, has been arrested by Pakistan’s top intelligence agency.
Al-Azam Foundation is considered the main organization for ISIS-K’s recruitment and propaganda activities. Media activities have also been suspended after Aziz Azam’s arrest. In recent days, Pakistani authorities have made several high-profile arrests against ISIS-Khurasan group, including the arrest of the organization’s spokesperson Sultan Aziz Aizam.
According to the report, Pakistan’s actions have weakened the organizational structure of ISIS Khorasan on a global scale. Several planned attacks have been thwarted, while the number of fighters in the organization has decreased. Key commanders and ideological leaders have been neutralized.
Measures such as the arrest of Sultan Aziz Azam and senior leader Abu Yasir Al-Turki have significantly reduced the organization’s operational strength. These actions have also led to the suspension of important propaganda platforms such as the “Voice of Khorasan”. Before entering the media, Azam was also an advisor to the Nangarhar Provincial Council.
