No fewer than 80 people feared dead and at least 260 wounded from
an explosion in Kabul, Afghanistan that detonated on Saturday in the
midst of a peaceful demonstration by members of Hazara, a Shiite
minority group, CNN reports.
The head of the United Nations assistance mission in Afghanistan called the attack a “war crime” as civilians were targeted.
The Islamic State’s media group, Amaq, alleges the attack was carried out by two ISIS fighters who detonated suicide belts.
Fatima Faizi, an Afghan freelance journalist, told CNN, “I saw tens
of people laying down in blood around me and hundreds of people running
away from the scene.”
An Afghan intelligence source told the BBC that Abo Ali, an ISIS commander, has sent three jihadists from the Nangarhar province to carry out the attack.
The Taliban has denied involvement in the attack, calling it, in statement posted on their website, “a plot to ignite civil war.”
