Afghanistan: 20 Dead, 70 Wounded in Kabul Twin Bomb Attack

HeadlineSep 06, 2018

In Afghanistan, a pair of bomb blasts tore through a sports club in Kabul on Wednesday, killing 20 people and wounding 70 others. Among the dead were rescue workers, a journalist and a camera operator who rushed to the scene after the first explosion. There was no claim of responsibility for the attack, which appeared to target members of the Hazara ethnic group, who are predominantly Shia Muslims. The minority group has been targeted in the past by ISIS.
