Bomb in Jalalabad Kills 33 as Islamic State Suspected
A suicide attack outside a Jalalabad bank killed 33 and injured over 100 on Saturday. President Ghani blamed Islamic State militants, marking a potential expansion of IS to South Asia. The Taliban condemned the attack as evil and suspected IS involvement. Authorities later reported a controlled detonation nearby and possible second blast. Local reports linked a former Pakistani Taliban spokesman to IS claims, but verification was incomplete.
