The deadly attack came days after Afghan Taliban announced launching their spring offensive named ‘Operation Mansouri’ aimed at targeting foreign forces but no group claimed responsibility for the Kabul attack as yet.
It bears mentioning that Pakistan’s neighbour Afghanistan is still reeling from an attack at Mazar-e- Sharif military base that killed around 140 soldiers following which the Afghan Army chief and defence minister tendered resignations.
