Letter Published in The National UAE on 21July 19Taliban role in Kabul attack cannot be ruled out

I write in reference to your article Afghanistan bomb blast kills at least eight near Kabul University(July 19). Your piece was crisp and explained well the latest developments in conflict-ridden Afghanistan. Eight people were killed and 33 injured by this attack near the university in Kabul last week. The Taliban are denying the attack, but their participation cannot be ruled out this attack can not be ruled out. There is a great deal of insurgency in Afghanistan and hardline extremists are growing in power and influence in this land. This attack was widely condemned and follows a recent ISIS attack in the country. The fact that attacks are increasing, just as Afghanistan is slowly improving and trying to heal its wounds is extremely sad.
