The armed Taliban group claimed responsibility for the attack at the Kabul airport which a gunman shot and killed 3 American contractors and one Afghan civilian.
The Taliban’s claim came in a message on Friday from spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, who identified the attacker as a man named “Hessanullha,” from Laghman province.
“Yesterday in the evening he managed to get to a crowd of invading and infidel American military forces where he turned his gun towards them and opened fire.” Taliban spokesman- Zabiullah Mujahid
Afghan officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still ongoing but said that the attacker was in an Afghan army uniform.
Previously, in 2011 an Afghan soldier including an American contractor killed 7 other Americans after an argument in Kabul airport.
