The organization has been connected to multiple assaults and attacks scheduled for 2024. The most well-known conspiracies were a deadly assault on a Moscow concert hall, thwarted attempts to stop three Taylor Swift performances in Austria, and two bombs in Iran.
According to an analysis of recent data by News from the Centre for Information Resilience (CIR), the organization is producing propaganda at a far higher rate and is doing so in a wider variety of languages.
Propaganda has spread well beyond Afghanistan’s borders, and with it has come an increasing number of planned and international attacks that have put Western security at risk.
German police have declared that they had prevented planned IS-K assaults, and the nation is nevertheless on high alert. Officials from France claimed in July to have discovered multiple terrorist plans aimed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. IS-K’s propaganda channels had released a number of posters in the weeks preceding the Games, encouraging followers to launch attacks in different parts of Paris during the competition.
