A large explosion tore through a Shi'ite mosque in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar during Friday prayers, killing at least 33 people and wounding 73, officials said, the second massive attack in a week targeting worshippers from the minority sect.
A local reporter in Kandahar told Reuters that eyewitnesses had described three suicide attackers, one of whom blew himself up at the entrance to the mosque with the two others detonating their devices inside the building.
...
The blast took place just days after an attack claimed by Islamic State militants, which killed scores of Shi'ite worshippers at a mosque in the northern city of Kunduz.
...
Sunni Muslim fighters of Islamic State have repeatedly targeted Shi'ites in the past. The Taliban are also strict Sunni Muslims
...
The blast, coming so soon after the Kunduz attack, underlined the increasingly uncertain security in Afghanistan as the Taliban grapple with an escalating economic and humanitarian crisis that threatens millions with hunger.
The local affiliate of Islamic State, known as Islamic State Khorasan after an ancient name for the region covering Afghanistan, has stepped up attacks following the Taliban victory over the Western-backed government in Kabul in August.
...
The fact that the Shi'ite minority has again been targeted may also inflame tensions among ethnic and sectarian groups in the largely Sunni country. Most Shi'ites in Afghanistan belong to the Hazara ethnic group of Persian speakers, who have complained of persecution under the mainly Pashtun-speaking Taliban in the past.

Hmmmm... Ain't we suppose to run out into the streets and celebrate..?
Hey Biden, put down the ice cream and tell me again how we can work with these guys, how the Taliban can be our allies. Fool.
Let them kill each other. The world is slightly better today.
Let them kill each other. The world is slightly better today.
Hey Taliban - you break it, you bought it!
When your enemies are fighting and killing each other, don’t interrupt them.
Ah that’s a shame
At least it was a mostly peaceful blast.
As I have said on FR ,the fundamental Muslims will kill the cafeteria Muslims who pick and chose what parts of Islam they want to adopt, and other Muslim heretics will be killed as quick as the fundamentalists will kill us Infidels who will not convert to Islam or be subjugated.
Why? Because that is what God(Allah)wants, and his messenger Mohammad has set the example for fundamental Muslims to live by.
It has been going on for 1400 years, but still members of of other belief systems never seem to get the message. -Tom
These Afghans we spent a fortune on refused to fight.
Religion of piece(s)…
We're soon to see "Blast at Shi'ite mosque in Wisconsin city of Madison causes heavy casualties"
Trump will be blamed.

Victory???
More like a giveaway. Cue card biden didn’t even try to put up a fight...just gave it to them.
Is anyone surprised this is happening? This is what they’ve done for 1400 years. Anyone who is not a strict muslim is executed, according to what the koran demands. Doesn’t matter if you’re a christian, jew, cathoic or another variety of muslim.
Religious persecution on steroids, and of course “president” cue card didn’t see it coming...
Happy Friday.
Youse guys deserve each other...
Nobody hates muslims more than other muslims. Islamophobia at its finest.
