Explosion in north Afghanistan kills at least 10, injures 40
A series of explosions across Afghanistan Thursday killed at least 10 people and wounded scores more. No one immediately took responsibility for the deadly explosions but they mostly targeted the country's minority Shiite Muslims. The worst of the three attacks occurred in northern Mazar-e-Sharif where at least 10 worshippers were killed as they knelt in prayer. Dr. Ghawsuddin Anwari, head of the main hospital in northern Mazar-e-Sharif, says another 40 were injured. It was the worst of three attacks on Thursday. Earlier in the capital, Kabul, a roadside bomb exploded and injured two children. A third blast, this one in northern Kunduz province, struck a vehicle carrying mechanics.
