    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Islamic State has claimed responsibility after three Spanish tourists were killed when gunmen opened fire in Afghanistan’s central Bamiyan province.

    The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday that three of its nationals died in the attack and that at least one more had been injured.

    Islamic State’s affiliate in Afghanistan is a major rival of the country’s Taliban government.

    It earlier claimed an attack on Chinese citizens at a hotel in the capital Kabul in 2022.

    Bamiyan province is home to the remains of two giant Buddha statues blown up by the Taliban in 2001 and the region is a UNESCO world heritage site.

    Tourism in Afghanistan peaked in the 1960s and 1970s when the country formed part of the popular “hippy trail” route.
