Mosque Bombed: Memorial service for mother of Taliban’s chief spokesman ‘is targeted by ISIS militants’

A bomb which targeted the entrance of a mosque in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Sunday has left a ‘number of civilians dead’, according to a Taliban spokesman.

The bomb targeted the Eidgah mosque where a memorial service was being held for the mother of Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing, but attacks in Afghanistan against the Taliban by Islamic State (IS) militants have increased since the Taliban swept to power in mid-August.
