ISIS takes credit for Kabul suicide bombing at Chinese restaurant

The Islamic State claimed responsibility on Monday for a suicide blast at a Chinese restaurant in Afghanistan that killed more than half a dozen people. Abdul Mateen Qani, a spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, told The New York Times the attack was carried out by one person linked to ISIS-Khorasan, commonly known as ISIS-K, one of the terrorist group’s most lethal branches. ISIS-K has claimed it targets Chinese citizens as retaliation for Beijing’s treatment of Uyghurs , a Muslim minority group, and has also denounced the Afghan government’s relationship with China, according to the Times.
