Deadly attacks strike mosques in Kabul and Ghor
Late last month, a bomber detonated an explosive device outside another Shia mosque in Kabul, killing at least six people.
The attack occurred at Imam Zaman mosque in the western Dasht-e-Barchi part of Kabul, Afghanistan, as Shi'ite worshippers gathered for prayers.
The eyewitnesses said the suicide bomber was in the middle of the mosque among the worshippers when he detonated the explosives embedded with his body.
Interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish confirmed the latest attack toll on Twitter.
Security forces cordoned off the area one hour after the explosion.
Kabul police spokesman Abdul Basir Mujahid said there had been an explosion inside the mosque but it was not clear if it had been caused by a suicide bomber or a grenade.

Dozens of people have been killed in two separate attacks at Shia mosques in Afghanistan.
