KABUL, a Ministry of Defence (MoD) official alleges.
MoD spokesman Gen. Mohammad Radmanesh claimed in an interview with the Voice of America (VOA) on Sunday the Islamic State (IS) was not behind the escalating violence.
In fact, the defence official explained, the rising violence in Afghanistan was the handiwork of the Pakistan-based Haqqani network -- designated as a terrorist outfit by the US.
He claimed the Haqqanis were conducting attacks under the name of the IS . . .
