At least 1,000 inmates were recaptured trying to flee during the siege, while 300 are still missing, Attaullah Khogiani, a spokesman for Nangarhar province, said by phone. The toll from the attack includes civilians, inmates and Afghan forces, Khogiani said. Fifty others were wounded, with some in critical condition.
“This is one of the group’s major and rare attacks on a government facility,” Kohistani said, noting they mostly targeted public areas such as Shia mosques or gatherings. “Major attacks by the Islamic State in recent months show they would become the top insurgent group to destabilize the country and the region, replacing the Taliban. The war may never end.”NOORULLAH SHIRZADA/AFP via Getty Images
The Taliban, which controls or contests more than half the country, denied responsibility for the attack in an emailed statement. The group declared a three-day ceasefire starting Friday during the Eid al-Adha festival.
