Kabul Mosque Attack Kills 4

Ayesha Tanzeem

   ISLAMABAD - An attack on a mosque in Kabul during Friday prayers killed
   the imam and three worshipers and wounded several others.
   Mawlawi Azizullah Mofleh, the imam of Sher Shah Suri mosque in the Kart
   e Char area, was a well-known religious scholar.
   This is the second attack on a religious scholar in the last 10 days.
   On June 2, Mawlawi Ayaz Niazi was killed in a similar attack at the
   Wazir Mohammad Akbar Khan mosque in downtown Kabul. The local chapter
   of Islamic State claimed responsibility for that.
   A suicide attack was carried out May 12 during a funeral in the Shewa
   district of Nangarhar province, killing at least 26 and wounding more
   than 100.
   The Taliban had denied responsibility for the earlier attacks, and so
   far, no group has claimed responsibility for the Friday attack.
