The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Taliban) has denied allegations of involvement in the attack and has made it clear that it does not carry out indiscriminate attacks on public places.
It may be recalled that two days ago, Prime Minister Imran Khan had paid a one-day visit to Kabul. Strict security arrangements were made for a public holiday in Kabul during his visit.
