Fighters involved in Afghanistan attack killed

Taliban forces have killed six fighters from the IS group who were involved in a suicide bombing on an Afghan educational centre that killed dozens of female students, an official said.

On September 30, a bomber blew himself up next to women at a gender-segregated study hall in Kabul packed with hundreds of students sitting a practice test for university admissions.

At least 53 people, including 46 girls and young women, were killed in the attack, according to the United Nations. No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but on Saturday the Taliban authorities blamed the IS for several recent attacks on civilians, including the one at Kaaj Educational Centre.
