Iran deplores Kabul deadly attackTEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) - He extended condolences to Afghan nation and government over the deadly blast.

At least nine people have been killed and 18 others injured in a bomb attack near a Shia mosque in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

The casualties were caused after an attacker, who had been stopped at a nearby security checkpoint, set off an explosive device he was carrying, said Nasrat Rahimi, a deputy Interior Ministry spokesman.

Rahimi said the assailant apparently sought to target crowds comprising members of Afghanistan’s Shia Hazara community. They had gathered to commemorate Abdul Ali Mazari, a Hazara political leader killed by the Taliban militant group in 1995, Presstv reported.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the deadly assault.
