Afghanistan's Taliban said on Monday an Islamic State militant attack on Pakistan's embassy in Kabul was carried out with involvement of unidentified foreign groups with the intention of sowing distrust with Pakistan.
Islamic State, which fights the Taliban in Afghanistan, claimed responsibility for the Friday gun attack on the Pakistani embassy in a statement carried by one of its affiliated channels on the Telegram messaging service on Sunday.
A Pakistani security guard was wounded in the attack that Pakistan called an attempt to assassinate its head of mission, who was unhurt.
