Sunni Extremist Islamic State terrorists claim deadly explosion in Kabul

The Islamic State group claimed on its Telegram channel Friday that it was behind a blast at a sports club that killed four people in the Afghan capital the night before.

The Sunni extremist group said it had used a parcel bomb that “IS fighters placed in a room where Shiites gather”.

The explosion occurred Thursday evening at a commercial centre in the Dasht-e-Barchi neighbourhood of Kabul, an enclave of the historically oppressed Shiite Hazara community, according to police.
