Ex-special forces cop says he joined Islamic State
Print Edition
A man claiming to be the former head of ex-Soviet Tajikistan鈥檚 special forces police division appeared in a video on Wednesday saying he has joined the Islamic State jihadist group in Syria.
The man resembling Colonel Gulmurod Halimov, 40, who sparked panic after failing to report for duty in late April, says in the footage he was driven to join the group by the impoverished state鈥檚 perceived anti-Islamic policies.
"We are coming for you," he tells the Tajik government.
Tajikistan鈥檚 Ministry of the Interior refused to comment on the video which has been widely shared on social networks.
In the clip of over 10 minutes, which appears with the logo of the Furat media collective believed to be under the control of the Islamic State, Halimov wears black clothing and headwear and totes what appears to be a sniper rifle.
