Islamic State Khorasan, also known as Islamic State Khorasan Province or ISKP, is the Afghanistan- and Pakistan-based branch of the Islamic State movement. It is a Sunni jihadist organization aligned with the broader Islamic State network and is associated with terrorism in Afghanistan and Pakistan, including mass-casualty attacks against soft targets and religious minorities. The group has been linked to the Abbey Gate attack in Kabul and has been the subject of U.S. counterterrorism investigations and prosecutions. Islamic State Khorasan operates in the Afghanistan-Pakistan theater and has been identified as active in and around Balochistan and the wider border region connecting Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. Reporting has described its affiliates as part of a broader militant ecosystem in which Sunni jihadist groups cooperate or align opportunistically with other armed actors in the region. The group has frequently targeted civilians and sectarian communities, including Christian communities and Shia Hazaras, reflecting both terrorist and anti-minority violence. High-confidence reporting supports classifying Islamic State Khorasan as a terrorist actor motivated by extremist ideological goals rather than financial gain. In the supplied facts, its demonstrated behavior centers on initial access through terrorist attacks and post-exploitation violence rather than cyber operations, and no cyber-specific capabilities are directly supported.
