Shia mosque bombing in Afghanistan that killed at least 47 claimed by ISKP

Suicide attack by Isis affiliate also injured more than 80 in southern city of Kandahar after Friday prayers

A suicide bombing at a mosque in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar has killed at least 47 people and injured more than 80, in the second major attack on Shia worshippers in Afghanistan in a week.

The Imam Bargah mosque was particularly crowded when the attackers struck, because the community had been holding memorial prayers for the victims of the previous bombing, in northern Kunduz province.
