A bomb exploded at the entrance of a mosque in the Afghan capital on Sunday leaving a “five civilians dead”, a Taliban spokesman said.
The bomb targeted the sprawling Eidgah Mosque in Kabul, where a memorial service was being held for the mother of Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, who later tweeted that the attack had claimed civilian lives.
Taliban fighters were not been harmed in the attack, Taliban spokesman Bilal Karimi told The Associated Press. Those killed in the attack were civilians outside the mosque gate.
