Saleh said that all the evidence we have shows that the roots of ISIS fighters are particularly linked to the Taliban and the Haqqani network. He also targeted Pakistan. “All the evidence we have right now suggests that IS-K members have their roots in the Taliban and especially the Haqqani network, which is currently active in Kabul,” Saleh tweeted
