The terrorist group IS claims to be behind Monday's suicide bombing in Afghanistan's capital Kabul.

Six people were killed and 13 injured in the explosion, which is said to have targeted the Taliban regime's judiciary.

According to IS's statement, the suicide bomber waited until the prosecutor's employees finished their work shifts, and then detonated their explosive charge in the middle of a crowd.

The attack was a "revenge for the Muslims being held in the Taliban's prisons", the terrorist movement claims.
