  • The Islamic State, in its claim released on Twitter and Telegram, named the bomber as Irfanullah Ahmed.

    These claims were "rubbished" by Zabihullah Mujahid.

    Defying IS in a phone call with the AFP agency, Mujahid said, "They neither have the capability to carry out attacks in Kabul, and nor are they supported by people. Today's attack was carried out by one of our Mujahideen."
