Several explosions occurred near Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport on Thursday in Afghanistan, and a branch of the terrorist group, the Islamic State, is suspected to have played a part in the attacks.
The group is known as “ISIS-K,” which specifies it as the “Khorasan” branch of the Islamic State in Afghanistan. Khorasan is a wider historical region and “a vast territory now lying in northeastern Iran, southern Turkmenistan, and northern Afghanistan,” per Britannica.
