Just days after an Obama administration official went to great pains to explain that the Taliban is not considered a terrorist group, the Afghan-based organization on Friday took credit for an attack that killed three American contractors and said it was carried out by a fighter who had infiltrated Afghanistan's security forces.
The attack came Thursday evening at a military base at Kabul's international airport, and also left one Afghan dead. The Taliban's claim of responsibility came in a message on Friday from spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, who identified the attacker as a man named "Hessanullha," from Laghman province, just east of Kabul. Hessanullha "penetrated into the security forces and was waiting for such a target for a long time," Mujahid said.
"Yesterday in the evening he managed to get to a crowd of invading and infidel American military forces where he turned his gun towards them and opened fire," he added. "During the gun battle, Ehsanullah was also killed by the enemy."
The attack came after a White House spokesman described the Taliban as an "armed insurgency," not a terrorist group. However, Press Secretary Josh Earnest later acknowledged that the Treasury Department had put the Taliban on a terror list as far back as 2002.

If I got anything wrong, I will happily apologize. I could have sworn the Taliban was a part of the massacre. Again, if I got that wrong, my apologies.

Yeah the school massacre in December was the Pakistani Tehrik-i-Taliban...
For some reason the media just labels them The Taliban but they're not the same group although they are said to be affiliated.
As far as I remember the Afghan Taliban denounced the school massacre as a disgrace.

Well if you go to the article and read the actual title not the one the op made up they said they were infiltrated. So it would be safe to assume that the faction from Pakistan is the one really responsible because that is where Zabiullah Mujahid is from. It's really not hard to do a little research to find this info out.
The Taliban's claim of responsibility .....
An infiltrator – Ihsanullah s/o Rahmatullah – from #Laghman province working inside Kabul airport opened fire on invaders 9pm Thur
— zabihullahmujahid (@zabihmujahid) January 30, 2015
The attack killed 3 American terrorists and wounded 4 others before the infiltrator was martyred by return fire #Khaibar #Kabul #Afghanistan
— zabihullahmujahid (@zabihmujahid) January 30, 2015
Earlier Friday, the Taliban had claimed responsibility for the shootings. Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said in a statement that the shooter was a Taliban fighter who had infiltrated the ranks of Afghan security forces to stage the attack and was wearing an Afghan police uniform.

The hero fulfilling his mission got locked in an exchange of fire with the puppet security forces and embraced martyrdom shortly after the attack.
Ihasanullah, having dispatched three US soldiers, laid down his life for Islam and the country so as to teach the military personnel of the stooge government and the youngsters a lesson of bravery and devotion. The shooting, which took out 3 US terrorists, was the latest of several attacks in which the US-NATO invading troops have been killed by the infiltrators of the Islamic Emirate.
