MQM chief urges government to tackle IS threat

Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has urged the Pakistan government to take measures to cope with the threat of Islamic State (IS) Sunni radical group's militants instead of denying their presence in the country.

"IS is a greater threat than Taliban that has entered Pakistan," Geo TV Wednesday quoted a statement issued by the leader as saying.

Evidence of IS's presence is popping up in different parts of the country.
