Many civilians killed after blast at Kabul's second-largest mosque

A bomb exploded in the entrance of a mosque in the Afghan capital on Sunday leaving a “number of civilians dead”, a Taliban spokesperson said.
 
The bomb targeted the sprawling Eidgah Mosque, the second-largest mosque in Kabul, where a memorial service was being held for the mother of Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid, who later tweeted the attack had claimed civilian lives.
 
Taliban fighters were not harmed in the attack, Taliban spokesperson Bilal Karimi told the Associated Press. Those killed in the attack were civilians outside the mosque gate. He did not provide a figure for the number killed
