A pamphlet, ascribed to the Islamic State (IS) distributed in Wana area of South Waziristan, has sought the support of local tribesmen and warned them against spying for the United States, a report said.
While extending support to IS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the pamphlet vowed to clear Wana of U.S. supporters spying on the "holy fighters." It also warned locals against supporting and facilitating US drone strikes which have killed several Taliban and Al Qaeda jihadis since 2007, reported the Dawn.
The leaflet also extended thanks to the tribesmen for backing South Waziristan militant commander Mullah Nazir, who was killed in a U.S. drone attack, and for supporting Nazir's successor, Mufti Salahuddin Ayubi.
The pamphlet carries the IS stamp and monogram but its authenticity is yet to be ascertained.
Although the Pakistani government has denied the presence of the militant group in the nation, yet IS' name has popped up several times in Pakistan in recent weeks.
While leaflets urging people to support the group was distributed in parts of northwest Pakistan recently, wall-chalking welcoming the IS to the nation have appeared in several cities across the country.
