#ISKP claimed responsibility for yesterday's attack n #Kabul:
"5 ISKP fighters carried out a coordinated attack on Sardar Muhammad Daud Khan Hospital. The attack began with one of the fighters detonating his explosive vest on a gathering of Taliban at the hospital’s outer gate... ImageImage
...another fighter managed to reach the building’s inner gate& shot the guard with a pistol, killing him& taking his rifle, paving the way for 3 other fighters to storm the hospital. The fighters stormed the building& started shooting at the Taliban members inside the building...
...The fighters holed up inside the building& clashed with the reinforcements sent by the Taliban, during which they blew up a parked car bomb on the TB, killing & wounding about 40 of them. The clashes continued until the death of all 4 ISKP fighters by the TB reinforcements...
...The outcome of the attack amounted to the killing& wounding of dozens of #Taliban, including a prominent leader, amid silence of the TB over their real losses in the attack.
It is noteworthy that the attack came a few days after the TB's Defense Minister visited the hospital."
Meanwhile, pro-TB sources and @aamajnews24 reported about arrest of two #foreign_nationals in connection with the #ISKP attack against the Military Hospital in #Kabul, yesterday:

Engineer Abdul Rahman Safi, father of a victim, #Ferozan_Safi, says that his daughter left home with travel documents at 2pm on Wednesday, October 27, after receiving a call. She told her family members that she was going to go abroad with the help of a human rights organization.

"#The_Supreme_Council_of_National_Resistance intends to resolve #AFG's issues through political means. If the other side (#Taliban)&their supporters do not accept such a solution, we will inevitably resort to the military activities&its responsibility&consequences will be on TB."
#Reactions to the National Resistance Council's statement:
1. Assadullah Saadati (a Hazara leader): "#War is not the solution. We ask the AFG leaders who are in foreign countries not to chant the slogan of war and not to go the way that leads to the Syrianization of Afghanistan."
2. Natiq Malikzada (a #NRF propagandist):
"It should be noted that all the leaders of this newely existed front 'The Council of National Resistance', who now speak of confrontation with the Taliban, fled to #Turkey during war with the Taliban or when the Taliban took Kabul."
