KABUL: Bomb blast tore the mosque during Friday prayers in North Afghanistan, killing 33 people including children, only the day after the ISIS group claimed two separate deadly attacks.
Because Taliban fighters confiscated Afghan’s control last year after expelling US-backed government, the number of bombings had fallen but the jihadists and Sunni continued the attack on the target they saw astray.

A series of bombings rocked this week, with deadly attacks targeting schools and mosques in the Shiite environment.

Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid tweeted that children are among 33 deaths in an explosion on Friday at a mosque in Kunduz northern province.

“We condemn this crime … and reveal our deepest sympathy with grieving,” he said, adding 43 more injured.

An intelligence official said the anonymity requirements that the explosion was caused by a bomb, but it was not clear how it was blown up.

A AFP correspondent saw big holes exploding through the walls of the Mawperda Sikandar Mosque, popular with Sufi in the Imam Sahib district, north of Kunduz City.

Jihadist groups such as ISIS bear deep hatred for the Sufi they consider to be a heretial and accuse them of the biggest polytheism in Islam – for seeking the intercession of the saints dead.

The scenery in the mosque is terrible. Everyone who worshiped in the mosque was injured or killed,” Mohammad okah, a shopkeeper who helped the ferry victims to the district hospital, told the AFP news agency.
