A suicide attack at a Shiite Muslim mosque in northern Afghanistan claimed the lives of at least 46 people and injured scores more was claimed by extremist Islamic State organisation.
The claim was made by the IS-linked Aamaq news agency and referenced by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant posts, just hours after a bomb ripped through a crowded mosque in Kunduz on Friday.
The bombing was the latest in a string of IS bombings and shootings that have targeted Afghanistan’s new Taliban authorities, as well as religious institutions and Shiites.
