The paper was translated by Harvard experts, reviewed by USA Today and all US intelligence agencies. The text has been declared authentic and belongs to the Islamic State: language used, writing style and continuous religious references are typical elements of terrorists. The plans of the caliphate emerge for the first time, in a sort of new military doctrine for the scenarios of the future.
ISIS plans to build a new terrorist army in Afghanistan and Pakistan, triggering a war in India to provoke the "end of the world".
The undated document is entitled "A brief history of the Islamic State, the Caliphate according to the Prophet".
"The whole Muslim world will have to unite under the leader of the Islamic State, the only recognized and sovereign leader of the empire". The empire would be the caliphate.
"Muslims must accept the fact that this caliphate will live to take over the whole world and will have no peace until it has beheaded every infidel who rebels against Allah. This is our belief".
The Islamic State, therefore, has its own plan of conquest that aims at unification with the Taliban (at the moment without an official spiritual guide after the departure of the Mullah Omar).
The new terror army would have the task of waging war in India. India is the Holy Grail of the jihadists of South Asia. Unlike al-Qaeda, which has targeted the United States and other Western nations with terrorist attacks, ISIS leaders consider the strategy adopted to date to be wrong.
"The strategic goal is wrong. Instead of wasting energies in a direct confrontation with the United States, we should focus on an armed uprising in the Arab world for the establishment of the caliphate ".
So far, the US strategy has been limited to fighting the militant group in Iraq and Syria, performing limited air strikes and supporting Iraqi security forces. Meanwhile, the Islamic State has recruited tens of thousands of fighters and sympathizers from all over the world.
