The Latest: Is Claims Responsibility For Kabul Bomb Attack

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Latest on developments in Afghanistan (all times local): 11 a.m. The Islamic State group is claiming responsibility for a suicide bombing attack on a Shiite mosque in Kabul that killed at least 39 and wounded at least 41. The group in a statement on its website late Friday says its fighter "Abu Ammar al-Turkmani detonated his explosive vest among the apostates" in the Imam Zaman mosque in western Kabul earlier in the day. IS has staged similar attacks on Shiite mosques in recent months. The so-called Islamic State in Afghanistan has taken responsibility for most of the attacks targeting Shiites, whom the Sunni extremist group considers to be apostates.
