Reuters quoting a source familiar with U.S. congressional briefings said U.S. officials strongly believe that the Afghan affiliate of Islamic State, known as Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), after an old name for the region, was responsible for the suicide attack.</p>

The Associated Press also quoted a US official as saying that the complex attack&nbsp;is &ldquo;definitely believed&rdquo; to have been carried out by ISIS.</p>
