Kabul mosque attack: Isis claims responsibility after suicide bomb and gun battle kills ‘at least 30’ in Afghan capital
‘Isis has claimed responsibility for an attack on a mosque in Kabul that left at least 30 dead.
The group’s propaganda agency, Amaq, released a statement shortly after the attack saying its fighters were behind the killings.
Gunmen stormed the Shia mosque, attacking worshippers gathered for Friday prayers. A cleric who was leading the service was among those killed, police said.
