Six people were wounded in a grenade blast at a mosque in the Afghan capital Wednesday, police said, minutes after worshippers offered midday prayers.
Attacks on public targets have largely diminished since the Taliban seized power in August last year, but Da’ish continues to operate across the country.
“We had finished the prayers and were heading out of the mosque when the blast occurred,” worshipper Mohammed Yasin told AFP.
Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran told AFP a grenade was thrown inside the Pul-e-Khisti mosque and a suspect was arrested at the scene. No group has claimed responsibility, but the Islamic State-Khorasan group has carried out recent attacks in Kabul and other cities.–AFP
