Afghanistan: Suicide Bomber Kills 50 at Kabul Religious Gathering
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Afghanistan, a suicide bomb blast tore through a gathering of
religious leaders in the capital Kabul Tuesday, killing at least 50
people and wounding over 70 others. The bomber targeted a group of
Muslim clerics in a wedding hall who had gathered to observe the
birthday of the Prophet Muhammad. There was no claim of responsibility
for the attack, which was condemned by the Taliban. Recent similar
bombings in Kabul have been claimed by ISIS.
