Blast Targets Ayuob Saber Mosque in PD5 of Kabul

Place yer bets, ladies and gents: Is this a Shiite mosque or a Sufi one? And who else done the dirty deed, if not the usual ISIS?

[ToloNews] Khalid Zadran, front man for the Kabul Police Command, confirmed that a blast has taken place at the Ayuob Saber Mosque in PD5 of Kabul.

According to Mr. Zadran, the blast took place during Friday prayers at the mosque.

Based on initial reports, three people were maimed.

The front man of the Kabul Police Command added that security forces had arrived at the scene.

Security officials have not commented on the nature of the blast, and no casualties have been reported.

No group has grabbed credit for the blast.

#1 Interestingly, the Afghan Digest, in their Daily Evacuation Brief dated yesterday, claims

The bomb attack near the Qombar intersection in Kabul Police District 5 had targeted a nearby mosque (possibly Ayub Saber). Three people were reportedly wounded in the blast. Sources with the Ministry of the Interior stated the attack was believed to be a pre-planned ISIS-K attack that was originally targeting a Shiite mosque in a Hazara neighborhood of Herat but was redirected to Kabul when local planners determined the security forces in Herat were too formidable to overcome. We have no further information concerning this attack.

I found the post doing a quick search of “ Ayuob Saber Mosque”.
