SIL has claimed responsibility for a suicide car bomb attack on the Iraqi embassy in Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul. For several hours, fighters were holed up in a building close to the embassy in the city’s Shar-e-Naw district where a gun battle was under way. Two fighters “attacked the Iraqi embassy building in the Afghan city of Kabul”, ISIL, or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group, said on Sunday in a statement released on their website “Amaq News Agency”. Police confirmed the reports of the explosions but said they did not have further information.
