people: Isis claimed responsibility for a weekend bomb attack on a wedding reception in the capital, Kabul, that killed 63 people and wounded nearly 200, according to The Guardian. The Jalalabad bombs were planted near a market where hundreds of people had congregated after attending independence day events. No group claimed responsibility for the 10 bombs on Monday but both Islamic State and Taliban militants operate in the area. A senior health official, Fahim Bashari, said at least 66 people were wounded, including 20 children enjoying the public holiday. Children insisted on being in the shop, as they wanted to celebrate independence day in the market, but they were seriously injured when a bomb exploded, Mohammad said at a hospital in the city. Ghulam Mohammad, a shopkeeper selling plants, said his two sons and a nephew were among the injured in one of the blasts.
