The pro-Taliban group in Pakistan says it is ready to send militants to assist ISIL Takfiri terrorists in Iraq and Syria.
The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said on Saturday it fully supports ISIL's goals and is proud of what it called the terrorist group's victories.
The Pakistani group ordered its followers to help the ISIL in its campaign to set up a caliphate in the swathes of land they have taken over in Syria and Iraq.
Recent reports show that pamphlets have been distributed in the Pakistani city of Peshawar in a bid to urge people to join the terrorist group.
There are growing concerns that many could join the terrorist group.
The ISIL controls large areas of Syria's east and north. The group sent its militants into Iraq in June, seizing large parts of land straddling the border between Syria and Iraq.
The West and its regional allies, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, are reportedly giving financial and military support to the militants.
The ISIL has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be supported by the Israeli regime.
