Afghanistan
At least six dead and dozens injured after an attack in Kabul
2019-03-22
[ELUNIVERSAL] At least six people were killed in kabooms in a Shiite neighborhood of Kabul on Thursday when Nouruz, the Persian New Year, was celebrated, authorities announced.

" Twenty- three people were maimed and six were martyred in the kabooms," said Afghan Health Ministry front man Wahidulá Mayar. The Interior Ministry confirmed the balance, reported AFP.

The Taliban
...Arabic for students...
denied any involvement in this attack which, according to the police, was due to three remotely activated mines. One of the mines was placed in the toilets of a mosque, another behind a hospital and the third in an electricity meter.

The kabooms took place near the Kabul University and the Karte Saji mausoleum, where several Afghans gather every year to celebrate Nouruz, a festival considered as non-Islamic by bad boys.

The kabooms occurred far from the festivities, according to Kabul police front man Basir Mujahid, adding that a fourth mine was deactivated.

A year ago, an kaboom claimed by the self-styled group Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) left 33 dead near the same mausoleum.

ISIS is targeting the Shiite minority to encourage sectarian violence in this Sunni-majority country.
