Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid denied any involvement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>President Ashraf Ghani said that &quot;the militants continued their enmity with the cultural and religious values of Afghanistan by carrying out such attacks&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Chief Executive of Jamiat-e Islami party and former governor of Balh province, Atta Mohammad Noor, condemned the brutal bombings, saying that &quot;the attack on a stadium showed that the enemies of the country pay no respect to any value and only seek to eliminate the Afghan people&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nangarhar is the main bastion of the Islamic State terrorist group in Afghanistan.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In September, four people -- including a suicide attacker -- died and 12 were wounded near Kabul&#39;s main cricket stadium during a key local league match in which international players were taking part.<\/p>\r\n",
