Terror nuts ISIS launch RADIO station to brainwash would-be militants

The hour-long propaganda message consists mainly of interviews, anti-government sentiments and songs about ISIS.

ISIS has launched the station in Afghanistan, where it is making increasing territorial gains, according to reports.

Its aim is to compete with the Afghan Taliban to lure fighters into ISIS' ranks.

The terror cult – also known as Daesh – has long used the web to brainwash people into supporting their ideology, including several in the UK.

Its move on to radio is further evidence of the legitimate state image it is seeking to portray, with a police force in operation, as well as a taxation system, and ambitious plans for a health service.

Perhaps the radio move stems from the sustained attempts by hacker group Anonymous' to troll ISIS online.

Haji Ghalib, Achin district governor, told Al Jazeera: "The ISIS militants in Afghanistan are growing stronger and this radio channel is helping them recruit fighters which will make them even stronger.

"Their aim is to brainwash people through this radio channel, however, we are trying to track it and shut it down."

ISIS has also focused its efforts on Libya, with Russian, French, British and American bombing on Syria and Iraq damaging its work there.
