KABUL, June 5, 2018 (News Wires) - The Islamic State group's affiliate in Afghanistan has claimed responsibility for the deadly suicide bombing the previous day that targeted a meeting of the country's top preachers in the capital, Kabul. At least 14 people were killed and 20 were wounded in Monday's attack, which came shortly after the body of religious leaders, known as the Afghan Ulema Council, had issued a decree against suicide attacks and called for peace talks. The IS claim, posted on a website linked to the terrorist group, says the gathering in Kabul was a meeting of "tyrant clerics" who were discussing the fight against what they call "terrorism." Shortly after the bombing, the Taliban denied involvement in the attack, though they also denounced the gathering and its religious decree, or fatwa.
