More than a year ago, the group's presence prompted Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to warn members of the U.S. Congress of the "terrible threat" the group posed to Afghanistan and Central Asian neighbors Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgystan and Kazakhstan.

And waving our red weapons o'er our heads
Let's all cry 'Peace, Freedom, Liberty!'
