Blasts Near Kabul Schools Kill at Least 6 Afghan Civilians, Hurt 11
No one has immediately claimed responsibility. The area has been targeted in the past by Afghanistan’s deadly Islamic State affiliate, which reviles Shiite Muslims as heretics.
Save the Children in Afghanistan issued a statement"strongly condemning ” the attack and saying “no school should be deliberately targeted, and no child should fear physical harm at or on the way to school." The Islamic State affiliate known as IS in Khorasan Province, or IS-K, has previously targeted schools particularly in the Shiite dominated Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood. In May last year, months before the Taliban took power in Kabul more than 60 children, mostly girls, were killed when two bombs were detonated outside their school, also in the Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood.
IS has presented the biggest security challenge to the country's Taliban rulers, who swept into Kabul last August as the United States ended its 20-year war.Associated Press reporters Rahim Faiez and Tameem Akhgar in Islamabad contributed to this report
