Bombs Kill at Least 7 in Afghanistan as Hazara Shia Come Under Mounting Attacks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Afghanistan, two separate bomb blasts killed at least seven people
and wounded six others in the capital Kabul on Saturday. The explosions
hit vehicles on a stretch of road in a neighborhood that's mostly
populated by members of the minority Hazara Shia community. Similar
attacks by a local ISIS affiliate in recent weeks have killed scores of
people, including nearly 100 people - most of them Hazara girls - killed
in an attack on a Kabul school on May 8.
