Islamic State Bombing Kills 8 Afghan Shiite Mourners in Kabul

A powerful bomb exploded Friday near a Shiite Muslim religious gathering in Kabul, Afghanistan, killing at least eight civilians and wounding 18 others.

The regional branch of the self-proclaimed Islamic State terrorist group took responsibility for the attack.

Eyewitnesses said members of the minority group, including women and children, were busy with annual mourning rituals in a Shiite-dominated western neighborhood of the Afghan capital when the blast struck.
