KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - An explosion inside a mosque on the outskirts of the Afghan capital, Kabul, killed at least 12 people during Friday prayers as worshippers gathered for the Eid al-Fitr holiday during a cease-fire.

The Taliban insurgent group, which declared the three-day truce for the holiday, condemned the attack in a statement. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack Saturday through its Nasheer news agency on Telegram. Ferdous Faramarz, spokesman for the Kabul police, said the mosque's imam was among the 12 dead and at least 15 people were wounded in the blast in the capital's Shakar Dara district.
