UPDATE: Daesh claims responsibility for Kabul mortar attack that killed three people and wounded at least 22 others
A mortar attack on a large ceremony attended by Afghanistan's chief executive and other leading government figures in Kabul on Thursday killed three people and wounded 22 others, officials said.
Among those attending the gathering included chief executive Abdullah Abdullah, former President Hamid Karzai and other leading government officials. But moments after the announcement, another explosion could be heard that sent people running for the exit. The last major attack in Kabul occurred in January when the Taliban-claimed responsibility for a car bomb that struck the heavily fortified Green Village foreign compound.
