Summary

Taliban refugee minister Khalil Haqqani was killed in a suicide bombing in Kabul, marking the most significant casualty since the Taliban took power.

The Islamic State group, a long-standing rival of the Taliban, has been responsible for numerous previous attacks in Afghanistan.

Haqqani’s death comes one day after Russia’s State Duma took a step toward removing the Taliban from its list of designated terrorist organizations.

Sounds like this is the work of the Islamic State.

I wonder if the Taliban thugs are able to see the irony of the situation.
