ISIS Claims Responsibility For Bombing in Kabul That Killed 80 People 

80 people are dead and at least 260 wounded from an explosion in Kabul, Afghanistan that detonated on Saturday in the midst of a peaceful demonstration by members of Hazara, a Shiite minority group, CNN reports.

The head of the United Nations assistance mission in Afghanistan called the attack a “war crime” for its targeting of civilians.

The Islamic State’s media group, Amaq, alleges the attack was carried out by two ISIS fighters who detonated suicide belts.

Fatima Faizi, an Afghan freelance journalist, told CNN, “I saw tens of people laying down in blood around me and hundreds of people running away from the scene.”

An Afghan intelligence source told the BBC that Abo Ali, an ISIS commander, has sent three jihadists from the Nangarhar province to carry out the attack.

The Taliban has denied involvement in the attack, calling it, in statement posted on their website, “a plot to ignite civil war.”
