Taliban: 100+ Dead Or Wounded In Afghanistan Mosque Attack
Newsy
The Kunduz explosion went off during a weekly prayer service at a mosque packed with Shiite Muslim worshippers.
A blast went off Friday at a mosque packed with Shiite Muslim worshippers in northern Afghanistan, killing or wounding at least 100 people, a Taliban police official said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, which took place in Kunduz, the capital of Kunduz province, but ISIS militants have a long history of attacking Afghanistan's Shiite minority.
Dost Mohammad Obaida, the deputy police chief for Kunduz province, said that the "majority of them have been killed," in reference to the victims. He said the attack may have been carried out by a suicide bomber who had mingled among the worshipers inside the mosque.
