Deaths as suicide bombers hit Shia mosque in Kabul
2017-06-16
[Al Jazeera] An attack at a Shia mosque in the Afghan capital of Kabul killed at least four people and maimed eight more on Thursday, security officials said.

Two suspected attackers tried to enter the city's Al Zahra mosque but were blocked by police, setting off a shootout, Interior Ministry front man Najib Danish said.

The attackers then took refuge in the mosque's kitchen before detonating a bomb.

The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS, also known as ISIS) grabbed credit for the deadly attack via its news agency Amaq.

Among the dead were at least three civilians and one police officer, while four civilians and four coppers were maimed.

The attack happened as mosques around the city were crowded for a night of religious observances as part of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
