Iran Press/ Asia: Four people, including the mullah, were killed in an explosion in a mosque in the west of the Afghan capital of Kabul, Tolo News reported, citing the Afghan Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Explosives placed inside the Shir Shah-E-Suri Mosque exploded during Friday prayers," said a Ministry of Interior statement, adding that the West Kabul mosque's mullah was among those killed.
The US and its allies invaded Afghanistan in 2001 under the pretext of combating terrorism and providing security, but since then, insecurity, terrorism and drug production in Afghanistan has increased dramatically.
Even though the United States and the Taliban started negotiating foreign troop withdrawal last year, the peace talks broke down this September, prompting more bloodshed.
