Afghanistan
ISIS claim responsibility for Kabul suicide attack that left 8 dead
2017-05-04
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group offshoot in Afghanistan, ISIS-Khurasan, grabbed credit for a deadly suicide kaboom in capital Kabul.

The group in a statement released in Arabic language claimed that 8 American soldiers were killed in the attack.

However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
the US forces in Afghanistan earlier said only three coalition soldiers were maimed in the attack and that their health condition is satisfactory.

The Ministry of Interior (MoI) earlier said at least eight non-combatants were killed and twenty five others were maimed in the attack.

The incident took place around 8 am local time in the vicinity of the 9th police district of the city as the coalition forces convoy was crossing the area located close to the US Embassy and other key government compounds, including the supreme court of Afghanistan.
