Afghanistan: 20 Dead, 70 Wounded in Kabul Twin Bomb Attack
----------------------------------------------------------

In Afghanistan, a pair of bomb blasts tore through a sports club in
Kabul on Wednesday, killing 20 people and wounding 70 others. Among the
dead were rescue workers, a journalist and a camera operator who rushed
to the scene after the first explosion. There was no claim of
responsibility for the attack, which appeared to target members of the
Hazara ethnic group, who are predominantly Shia Muslims. The minority
group has been targeted in the past by ISIS.
