Poland says Tajik Islamic State activist deported

(AFP) Polish security services said Tuesday they had deported a Tajikistan citizen on suspicion of “terrorist activities” and links to the Islamic State group that claimed a deadly attack in Moscow last month.

The man, whose identity was not disclosed, was “a member of the terrorist organisation Islamic State,” the Polish security agency ABW said in a statement.
