Was there a Malaysian link to the horrific suicide bombings at Kabul airport which killed more than 200 people dead, including 13 US soldiers last week? Afghanistan’s Taliban authorities are questioning two Malaysians who were among six IS-K (Islamic State-Khorasan) fighters captured in the wake of the blasts.
