Saleh said in his tweet that the Taliban seem to be 'learning from their master'. Saleh did not directly pin blame on Pakistan.
Kabul health officials were quoted as saying 60 civilians were killed in the attack on August 26. "I saw bodies and body parts flying in the air like a tornado blowing plastic bags," said one Afghan who had been trying to reach the airport.
