Afghanistan: 14 Shia Muslims killed, 36 wounded in Ashura attack

By Sayed Khodaberdi Sadat

 

KABUL, (AA): At least 14 people were killed and 36 others wounded when a gunman attacked a Shia Muslim shrine in the Afghan capital Kabul, authorities said Tuesday. Police also said two grenades had been detonated during the attack.

Interior Ministry Spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said one of the victims of the attack was a police officer.

The attack occurred when worshippers gathered at the Karte Sakhi shrine, one of the biggest in the capital, for the traditional commemorations on the Ashura holy day, when they mark the death of Prophet Muhammad’s grandson, Imam Husayn.

Although Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi put the number of attackers at four, Sediqqi said one attacker was shot dead.

Last July, another attack in Kabul which targeted the Shia Muslim Hazara minority killed at least 80 people died and wounded 200 others. Daesh claimed responsibility for the attack.
