Taliban say forces destroy Daesh base north of Kabul
The Taliban government in Afghanistan says its forces have destroyed a Daesh cell north of Kabul, following a deadly bombing attack outside a mosque.
A Taliban spokesperson said on Monday that the terrorists' base had been destroyed a day earlier by its forces following the bombing attack outside the Eidgah Mosque.
The Sunday blast left a number of civilians dead and several others injured.
Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said a special Taliban unit carried out the operation against Deash elements in Kabul's 17th district.
"The [Daseh] base was entirely destroyed and all of the [Daseh] members inside were killed as a result of this decisive and successful attack," he tweeted.
