Terrorists Start Al-Qaida Rip-Off After Disaffection With ISIS.

A new al-Qaida-inspired group has sprouted up in Pakistan in the hopes of recruiting from a growing base of disaffected former Islamic State fans and militants.

Local media in Pakistan has reported that Ansar has been responsible for at least seven terror attacks in 2017 so far.
