Deaths in Kabul mosque attack climbs to at least 63

(20 Oct 2017) Suicide bombers struck two mosques in Afghanistan during Friday prayers, a Shiite mosque in Kabul and a Sunni mosque in western Ghor province, killing at least 63 people at the end of a deadly week for the troubled nation. In the attack in Kabul, a suicide bomber walked into the Imam Zaman Mosque, a Shiite mosque in the western Dashte-e-Barchi district where he detonated his explosives vest, killing 30 and wounding 45, said Major General Alimast Momand at the Interior Ministry. The suicide bombing in Ghor province struck a Sunni mosque, also during Friday prayers and killed 33 people, including a warlord who was apparently the target of the attack, said Mohammad Iqbal Nizami, a spokesman for the provincial chief of police. The Afghan president issued a statement condemning both attacks and saying the country's security forces would step up the fight to "eliminate the terrorists who target Afghans of all religions and tribes." No group immediately claimed responsibility for either attack, the latest in a devastating week which saw Taliban attacks kill scores across the country.
