ISIS claims responsibility for attack that left four dead in a Kabul shopping center

On Thursday, an explosion rocked the predominantly Hazara Shiite neighborhood of Dasht-e-Barchi in Kabul, where this minority community has frequently experienced attacks in the Sunni-majority country.
The Islamic State jihadist group claimed on its Telegram channel Friday, October 27, that it was behind a blast at a sports club that killed four people in the Afghan capital the night before. The Sunni Muslim extremist group said it had used a parcel bomb that “IS fighters placed in a room where Shiites gather”. The explosion occurred Thursday evening at a commercial center in the Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood of Kabul, an enclave of the historically oppressed Shiite Hazara community, according to police.
