CAIRO – Islamic State claimed responsibility for an attack on Kabul University on Monday that killed 22 people including students, the group’s Amaq News Agency said.
In a message posted on Telegram, the group claimed to have killed and injured 80 Afghan judges, investigators and security personnel who gathered on completion of a training programme, the Reuters said.
The death toll released by Afghan officials is much lower, at 22, and does not mention the killing of judges or prosecutors. Officials said several students had been killed.
