Dozens killed, more injured after bomb blast at Shi’ite mosque in Kandahar

Global News published this video item, entitled “Dozens killed, more injured after bomb blast at Shi’ite mosque in Kandahar” – below is their description.

WARNING: This video contains disturbing images not suitable for all viewers.

A large explosion tore through a Shi’ite mosque in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar on Friday, killing dozens of people. It is the second week in a row that militants have bombed Friday prayers and killed scores of worshippers from the minority sect.

There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but the Islamic State claimed responsibility for a similar bombing in the northern city of Kunduz a week earlier.

The attacks have caused shock and terror among members of Afghanistan’s Shi’ite minority and undermined the ruling Taliban’s claim to have restored security since taking control of the country in August.
