Afghanistan: Deadly attack hits Kunduz mosque during Friday prayers

A suicide bomb attack on a mosque in the Afghan city of Kunduz has killed at least 50 people, officials say, in the deadliest assault since US forces left. [...] More than 100 people were injured in the blast in the northern city. The Islamic State group said it was behind the attack. Sunni Muslim extremists have targeted Shias who they see as heretics. [...]

The United Nations said Friday's bombing was a "third deadly attack this week apparently targeting a religious institution" and was part of a "disturbing pattern of violence". The UN referred to Sunday's bombing near a mosque in the capital Kabul that left several people dead, and an assault on a madrassa (educational institution) in the eastern city of Khost on Wednesday. [...] The group [der IS-K, Anm. von mir] has repeatedly targeted Afghanistan's Shia minority in the past, with suicide bombers striking at mosques, sports clubs and schools. In recent weeks, IS has also stepped up a campaign of attacks against the Taliban.

Dieses Dickicht wird immer undurchsichtiger. Einerseits ist es durchaus so, dass dem IS(-K) zuzutrauen wäre, gezielt Schiiten zu attackieren, alleine schon aufgrund des konfessionellen Hasses, allerdings ist andererseits so, dass sich, wenn man dies liest, automatisch die Vermutung einstellt, dass die Taliban über zwei Ecken ihre Finger darin haben könnten, um ihre innerislamischen Gegner - also IS-K - zu diskreditieren...
