Islamic State: u.s.-Based Site and Police Officer

islamic state: Danish said there was gunfire outside the mosque as the suicide bomber tried to force his way inside, but he was stopped by a police officer, who died in the explosion, according to The Chronicle Herald. Another policeman was wounded. Another five people were wounded, said Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish. The U.S.-based SITE, which tracks the online activity of extremist organizations, said the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack through its Amaq news agency. Last year IS claimed an attack on a Shiite shrine that killed 14 people. The Associated Press could not independently verify the claim, however the IS affiliate in Afghanistan has taken responsibility for past attacks against the country's minority Shiites.
