63 killed in Kabul blast, IS owns responsibility
At least 63 people were killed and over 180 injured in a suicide bombing at a packed wedding hall here, reports said on Sunday. The IS has claimed responsibility for the attack, which has left many relatives of the couple getting married dead.
Citing an IS statement issued in Arabic, Khaama Press reported that the attack, “which targeted a gathering of non-believers”, was carried out by IS suicide bomber Abu Asim Al-Pakistani.
Earlier, the Taliban, in a statement, rejected any involvement in the Saturday night attack, saying that they condemned incidents which target women and children.
