| Afghanistan Kabul mosque suicide attack kills dozens | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| A suicide bomber has killed at least 27 people in a suicide attack inside a Shia Muslim mosque in the Afghan capital, Kabul, police say. | |
| Another 35 were wounded in the blast at the Baqir ul Olum mosque. | |
| The attacker was on foot and blew himself up among crowds inside the building, officials said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. | |
| Afghanistan has largely been spared levels of sectarian violence seen by Pakistan and Iraq. | |
| But Shia, who make up about 15% of the population in Afghanistan, have been attacked several times in recent months. | |
| At least 14 people died in a gun attack on a shrine in Kabul in October. | |
| An attack in July, claimed by so-called Islamic State, killed 80 people at a Shia protest march in the capital. |
