ISIS group claims suicide attack in Afghanistan that kills at least 35
KABUL, Afghanistan – A motorcycle-riding suicide bomber attacked a bank branch Saturday in eastern Afghanistan, killing at least 35 people in a deadly attack the country's president said was claimed by the Islamic State group.
The attack marks a major escalation in the country's fight against an affiliate of the extremist group that now holds a third of Iraq and Syria in its self-declared caliphate. It also comes as Afghan security forces fight against the Taliban after U.S. and NATO forces ended their combat mission in the country at the start of the year, yet another challenge for the war-ravaged nation.

The West better wake up. This is not "your father's al-Qaeda." These brutes mean to have world domination, and if someone doesn't step up to stop them, they just might be at least partially successful.
