On 8 October there was a suicide attack on a Shia mosque in Kunduz. More than 70 people were killed and more than 150 were injured in this attack. The Islamic State of Khorasan claimed responsibility for the attack. The attacker was identified as Muhammad al-Uighri. The Taliban government was targeted by China for deporting Uighurs back from Afghanistan. As the Taliban is preparing itself to become a legitimate regime from the radical Islamic movement. It is clear from this that IS-K is considering taking China away from the Taliban.

 

Uighurs are native to the Chinese Xinjiang region. The people of the Uyghur community have been fighting for independence from China for years. Many Uyghur fighters have been using Afghan soil to attack China. In such a situation, the Islamic State is simultaneously targeting the Taliban and China using the Uighurs.

 

China has been troubled by Uighur extremists affiliated with the Islamic State in Afghanistan since 2014. Since China has so far stayed away from countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, the Islamic State has not felt any significant threat from Beijing. But in the changed situation, there is a big threat to the Islamic State in Afghanistan.

 

Islamic State has not been very successful in recruiting Uighurs compared to its rival Al Qaeda. But given the friendship between the Taliban and China, Islamic State and Uyghur extremists feel more threatened. In such a situation, experts believe that both Islamic State and Uighurs can target China together.

 

The Uighurs of the Turkestan Islamic Party and the Taliban have enjoyed good relations before the Taliban's occupation of Kabul, but Uighurs are turning to the Islamic State after China put pressure on the Taliban. In such a situation, experts believe that in the future, Islamic State and Uighurs may try to harm China while living in one corner.
