The Islamic State was born out of the civil war in Syria in the 2000s and over the next few years, the militant group was able to capture parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014. The main aim of the group was to create an Islamic caliphate as was proclaimed by Baghdadi from the Iraqi city of Mosul.
The various factions of the Islamic state and other militant groups have been constantly in a state of war and even in Afghanistan, the IS was active after the Taliban came to power. There were a number of blasts that took place in the past year and most of them were claimed by the Islamic State.
