Afghanistan: Suicide Bomb Kills 57, Injures 119 at Voter ID Center
------------------------------------------------------------------

In Afghanistan, a suicide bomber struck a voter registration center in
the capital Kabul Sunday, killing at least 57 people and injuring 119
others. The attack came just days after authorities began opening voter
ID distribution centers ahead of October elections. ISIS later claimed
responsibility for the bombing, which appeared to target members of the
Shia Hazara minority community. Later Sunday, six people were killed in
Baghlan province when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb.
