Barbaric turf war escalates in Afghanistan as ISIS execute three 'defectors' days after the Taliban warned terror group to stay out of the country, Al-Alam News Network reports.
ISIS militants have executed three fighters accused of defecting to the Taliban as a brutal turf war escalates between the rival factions in Afghanistan.
The killings come days after the Taliban sent a letter to ISIS warning them to stay out of the country, saying there is room for only 'one flag, one leadership' in their fight to re-establish strict Islamist rule.
The groups declared war on one another in April after the Afghan Taliban branded ISIS' self-declared caliphate illegitimate and refused to declare allegiance to its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
