Kill by attack on Kabul shiite mosque

At a mosque in the Afghan capital Kabul, at least sixteen people died on Friday.

According to the Ministry of the Interior, there are fourteen citizens and two police officers. Eight agents would have been injured by the attack at the Shiite prayer house, where people gathered for Friday's prayer.

According to eyewitnesses, the attackers cast grenades, but the police speak of a suicide terrorist who stands out at the gate. One eyewitness said that an attacker with a bomb belt shot the guards at the gate, after which four attackers were able to penetrate the mosque.

The attack has not been claimed immediately, but Islamic State members have traditionally favored members of the Shiite minority in Afghanistan.
