Afghan president Ashraf Ghani says he will 'bury' the so-called Islamic State group.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has promised to "bury" the so-called Islamic State (IS) militant group, whose local offshoot has clashed with government forces and Taliban fighters, in an exclusive interview.

Mr Ghani said IS was "not an Afghan phenomenon" and its atrocities had "alienated the people".
