The so-called Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for an attack that killed a female TV journalist in Afghanistan.

Two attackers opened fire on Malala Maiwand’s car soon after she left her house in Nangarhar province earlier in the day, said Attaullah Khogyani, a spokesman for the governor.
