On October 8, a large blast rocked a crowded Shiite mosque in the northern Afghan city of Kunduz during Friday prayers.
The blast was reportedly caused by a suicide bomber who detonated his explosive belt among worshippers inside the mosque.
“Today in the afternoon, in the Khanabad Bandar area in the capital city of Kunduz, a blast targeted a mosque belonging to our Shia citizens and martyred and wounded a number of our compatriots,” Zabiullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban and Deputy Minister of Information and Culture in the group’s Interim Government, wrote on Twitter.
According to several news sources, more than 50 people from the minority Shia Muslim community in Kunuz were killed in the blast. Dozens others were wounded. The death toll may raise in the upcoming few hours.

This was the second deadliest attack to take place in Afghanistan since the Taliban took over the rule of the country on August 15.
The deadliest attack was the August 26 Kabul airport suicide bombing. The attack, which was carried out by ISIS-Khorasan Province (ISIS-K), claimed the lives of 182 people including 13 US service members who were securing the evacuation of US citizens, Western nationals and local collaborators from Afghanistan.
No group has claimed responsibility for the Kunduz mosque attack, yet. ISIS-K remains the main suspect. The terrorist group has been actively working to disturb the rule of the Taliban.
Strange all this is happening since Nato were thrown out,i smell a rat.
The yanquis are out but the good old Wahhabi Sunni are back. Taliban are backward useless Wahhabi pigs, nothing more.
‘Cold-blooded’: Taliban accused of executing Hazara people “The Taliban killed at least 11 members of the Afghan forces belonging to the Hazara ethnic group in the central province of Daykundi, shortly after they took power in Afghanistan, according to a new report from Amnesty International.”
Hazara are mostly Shia, and yeah that is true – Taliban kill Hazara and Shia, just like their kind in KSA.
Plan working well, brace yourself for the worst
Turkey-Iran-Pakistan-Taliban vs Saudi Arabia-ISIS?
Pakistan is the gay friend of Turkey, AKA Turkey’s pig. Iran doesn’t work with any country really, they are the superpower in M.E.
Both Taliban and Pakistan LOVE and die for Wahhabi Sunnis (KSA), Osama the goat fuker was from KSA btw.
Taliban are the only Wahhabis there
Taliban aren’t Wahhabi, they are backward Sunnis…nothing more.
Do you think ISIS and Al-Qaeda pigs were Wahhabi in the first place? No, they weren’t, almost all of them were backward Sunnis who were poor and useless. Those Sunnis fight for money from KSA/UAE/Qatar/Israel/US money, nothing more.
Except that Qatar is with Turkey and Iran.
Afghanistan is approximately 80℅ sunni muslim. Does anyone expect the “taliban” to protect minorities throughout the country?
Still early days and unfortunately we will see more of these insane attacks.
Yeah but why did Iran and Pakistan support them?
Their pigs “soldiers” killed 11 Hazara Shia before this….
I said it before, The EU and US should have only taken out Shia Hazara Afghans. Fuk backward Sunnis. Shia are true Muslims and they behave like humans, unlike backward Sunnis.
Also, all you fukers that think Iran like the Taliban can go fuk yourself, clowns. The only reason Iran didn’t help Shia in Afghanistan is that they never ask Iran for help and Iran doesn’t jump into other countries without the country’s support.
‘Cold-blooded’: Taliban accused of executing Hazara people “During their five-year rule in the 1990s, the Taliban were accused of massacring hundreds of Hazaras in the provinces of Balkh and Bamiyan.” They doing again and ignoring it LMFAO, just like 20 years ago.
I said before and I say it again, the Shia Hazara shouldn’t stay in Afghanistan anymore. Most Shia left Afghanistan to Iran, The EU and US or any other country should kick Sunnis back into Afghan and take Shia Afghan and mainly Hazara. My friends run away from Afghanistan when the Taliban took power, they went to Iran, and back then the EU helped Afghans to live in the EU, my friends came back then.
It is funny…how all my Muslim friends are Shia, Iraqi and Afghan. The Sunnis ones aren’t friendly at all (besides the Syrians and Turkey).
This is not Sunni-Shia conflict. Anyone who believes this propaganda is deluded.
Ohhhh, yeah let’s ignore videos of the Taliban pigs killing civilian Hazara in cold blood – just because they were Hazara. It is not the first time they fuking did it you monkey…20 years ago they did it as well. You are the same moron who also believes the Taliban changed somehow as well…pls fuk off.
Despite this, Iran has some ounce of support for them.
Iranians have good relations with Iraqi Shias, Afghan Shias and Turkish Sunnis. They need to fix relations with Syrian Sunnis.
All the Syrian Sunnis are brainwashed into supporting FSA, very single one I’ve argued with didn’t even know and denied the fact that Israel is funding FSA. They still believe Bashar is killing Sunnis and that he’s behind the chemical attack, when it wasn’t even him
I don’t know everything about there. Syria has had both right-wing and left-wing dictatorships.
FSA is also against Israel. That’s why Hamas supported them. Israel is hated by everybody in the region.
FSA likes israel, they’ve congratulated them on their independence. FSA has never been in a battle with Israel, the only time they accidentally shot at them, they ended up apologizing to Israel.
FSA are allies with Muslim Brotherhood (Faylaq al Sham in Syria, Hamas in Palestine) and some other groups like Ahrar al Sham. All these groups are againt Israel to the core. Israel has said that it prefers Assad to radical Sunnis.
Iran like any country work to have good relations with every country. Iran’s main goal is to kick yanquis and Western countries out of M.E 1st. They even talk with KSA, your point?
Fuk Turkey – they help Zion and work with Wahhabi pigs soldiers. Fuk Iraqi Sunnis – the only group in Iraqi who work with ISIS/Al-Qaeda pigs are Sunnis, still.
Turks and many Iraqi Sunnis are allies with Iran, so what?
Iran has deployed over 20k trained Shia afghan fighters in Syria, I hope Iran deploys some of them back into Afghanistan to defend the Shias.
They fight in the Kashmir together with the Sunnis and the Wahhabis.
There’s got to be a special place in hell reserved for murderous Takfiri scum.
