A suicide bomber blew himself up outside a Shiite mosque in Kabul on Friday, killing at least 12 people, wounding 10, and the death toll could rise, an Interior Ministry spokesman.
Almas did not have any information about casualties but a photo posted on Twitter purportedly
taken at the scene of the attack shows a man lying on the ground, covered in blood.
The local affiliate of Islamic State has claimed several attacks on Shi'ite targets in Kabul in recent years and the government has allowed the Shi'ite community to place armed guards near mosques.
