Afghanistan
ISIS claims responsibility for the attack on religious scholars in Kabul
2018-06-06
[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 Khurasan terrorist group has grabbed credit for the attack on religious scholars in Kabul.

The group issued a statement online after the attack left several people dead or maimed at the end of the religious scholars gathering in Kabul.

The group called the religious scholars as ’tyrant holy mans’ and said the attack was carried out as they had gathered in a meeting in Kabul.

This comes as the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
group had earlier rejected their involvement in the attack.

The Kabul Police officials are saying that the attack took place at around 11:30 local time on Monday as the religious holy mans were leaving the Loya Jirga camp where the gathering had taken place.

Kabul Police front man Hashmat Stanikzai said at least seven people were killed and at least nine others were maimed in the attack.

However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
other sources are saying that the attack left at least 14 dead while nearly 20 others have sustained injuries.
