The Taliban movement on Monday claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing attack that killed 24 Afghani citizens and wounded 42 others in Kabul city.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement claiming responsibility that the suicide attacker had targeted two vehicles carrying Afghani intelligence elements killing 37 of them, Khaama Press reported.
But Afghani security officials said that killings were only civilians.
In a statement the Interior Ministry called the attack "a criminal act against humanity", refusing the Taliban's claims of targeting security elements.
This attack comes a few days after a new report issued about civilian casualties in Afghanistan exposing that most of them have been fallen as a result of armed insurgents' activities between 1 January and 30 June.
According to the latest report of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), 40 percent of all civilian casualties during the six-month period were killed or injured by anti-government forces using improvised explosive devices (IEDs), such as suicide bombs and pressure-plate devices, which were responsible for the deaths of 596 civilians and injured 1,483.
