KABUL (Reuters) – The death toll from a suicide bombing committed during a wedding in Kabul, the Afghan capital, more than a week ago has risen to 92, have sources told the Afghan Ministry of Health.
"With the death of 12 people injured, the number of victims of the suicide bombing in the wedding hall has risen to 92," said Mir Laith Mustafa, director of emergencies at the Ministry of Health.
This is the second time that the murderous toll of the deadly attack of August 17 was announced after the authorities announced that 63 people had been killed and 182 wounded the day after the attack. Interior Ministry spokesman Nusrat Rahimi said in press releases last Wednesday that "the exact number of martyrs is 80".
ISIS, the illegal terrorist organization in Russia and in a large number of countries, claimed responsibility for this suicide bombing, according to one of the members of the group, who allegedly detonated his explosive vest among a large crowd in a wedding hall of the 6th arrondissement of the capital.
The incident has sparked many reactions nationally and internationally, while Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has vowed to avenge every drop of blood shed by innocent citizens.
Afghanistan suffers from frequent armed clashes and fierce fighting between the internal security forces backed by US forces and other NATO forces and the Taliban, while the Islamic State terrorist organization does not continues to strengthen its influence in this country.
