Pakistan: ISIS posters come up near Sharif’s home

Posters, stickers and wall-chalking supporting ISIS have appeared some 15km from Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif's Lahore farmhouse, prompting authorities to launch a probe into the possible presence of the militant outfit in the city. The Lahore police have launched a search operation and took some suspects into custody after the display of ISIS posters and stickers inscribing 'Ummah of Khilafat Mubarik' in Nawab Town and Thokar Niaz Baig, some 15km from the Raiwind residence of Sharif. The wall chalking in favour of ISIS also appeared in Hunjerwal and Canal Road in Lahore. Police have registered an FIR for wall chalking and display of posters and stickers. "We have registered a case against elements involved in wall chalking and display of posters of ISIS. Police and other agencies have been launched an investigation into the matter to find out those behind it," deputy inspector general Punjab police Haider Ashraf said.
