BBC World Service - Weekend, The Growing Influence of IS in Afghanistan

The threat of so-called Islamic State in Afghanistan

The Taliban remains a grave threat to the developing democratic institutions of Afghanistan but so-Islamic State has carried out a number of substantial attacks in the past year. Could they grow in power in Asia as they diminish in Iraq and Syria?

Also in the programme: Should Europe and Asia link up to become Eurasia?
