Is the Islamic state behind the deadly attack in Jalalabad?

"I heard two shots and I do not remember what happened after that."

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani says it's Daech that struck on Saturday morning in Jalalabad.

If this is the case, it would be the first attack by the group Islamic State in Afghanistan, the historic birthplace of the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

The bomber blew himself up in front of a branch of Kabul Bank where officials came to get their salaries, quietly waiting their turn.

At least 33 people were killed and over a hundred injured.

A former member of the Pakistani Taliban, Shahidullah Shahid, claiming EI today claimed the attack to AFP.

It is true that more and more members of the Pakistani Taliban or al-Qaeda pledge allegiance to Daesh and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Only Afghan Taliban Mullah Omar denied responsibility.

But no matter the victims to finally find out who committed this horror:

"I received my salary, I do not queued, then a motorcycle arrived and saw a man in a suit headed for the crowd of people. He had set off his bomb. I heard two shots and I do not remember what happened after "said one wounded.

In recent months, Afghan officials repeated their fears of contagion from the IE, while Afghan forces were for the first time this year at the forefront in this "fighting season" starting. The mission of NATO in the country has ceased operations last December.
