Kabul. Eighty people were killed and more than 200 were injured in an attack claimed by ISIS and carried out by a suicide bomber during a large demonstration in Kabul. A violent explosion rocked the city in broad daylight in the streets of the Dehmazang neighborhood, where thousands of members of Afghanistan’s Hazara community, a Persian-speaking ethnic group of Shiite faith, were demonstrating. The demonstration was organized by the Enlightening Movement to pressure President Ashraf Ghani’s government to maintain an ambitious electricity transmission project (Tutap) in the impoverished province of Bamyan, whose transit has instead been relocated to another part of the country.
