Isis claims responsibility for Iraq embassy attack in Afghanistans capital Kabul

Isis has claimed responsibility for a deadly attack at the Iraqi embassy in Kabul. A suicide bomber blew himself up in front of the gates of the embassy, allowing gunmen to storm into the compound and open fire. A four-hour gunfight ended in all attackers being killed by Afghan security forces. Isis declares their fighters have killed 7 guards, but Afghan authorities denied the claim and said only one guard was injured. All embassy staffers are currently safe, but the building has suffered severe damages with broken windows and rooms badly-burned. Jul 31, 2017
