The Afghan government and the Taliban have been negotiating peace since September. Regardless, violence continues in the country. Now he comes to a school in the west of the capital, Kabul. The Islamic State is committed to the act.
Many schoolchildren were killed in a suicide attack by the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group in the Afghan capital, Kabul. At least 18 people died and another 57 were injured, an Interior Ministry spokesman said. The killer, who wanted access to an educational center in the western district of Dascht-e Bartschi, was discovered by security forces, according to the Interior Ministry. The man then blew himself up in an alley, killing many young men with him.
The IS claimed the attack for itself. A “knight martyr” detonated an explosive belt at a gathering of Shiites, the Islamic State announced on its Nashir News platform. The Taliban Islamist militant immediately denied responsibility for the bomb attack. He has been negotiating peace with a delegation in the Qatari capital Doha since September. But the violence continues in the country, especially in the provinces, many people still die in the fighting.
Abdullah Abdullah, chairman of the Afghan High Council for Reconciliation, strongly condemned the attack. “Cowardly and ungodly terrorists have shown by attacking innocent children and students that they do not adhere to any religion or principle,” Abdullah said, according to a statement.
There have already been many attacks in the past in the predominantly Shiite western district of Kabul. The IS terrorist militia has already carried out attacks in the district. Sunni extremists, like members of the IS terrorist militia, fight the Shiites as apostates. In March, the Islamic State carried out two attacks in western Kabul with dozens of deaths, against Shiites and followers of the Sikh religion. In an attack on a maternity ward in May, strangers killed many mothers with their newborn children. The United States blamed ISIS for this.
