At least 27 people are killed in the recent suicide attack in Kabul according to the officials.

An estimated 27 Shia are killed and 35 after Monday blast. The attacker blew himself up among bunches of people inside mosque.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility from ISI.
Afghanistan has largely been saved degrees of sectarian violence seen by Pakistan and Iraq.
But Shia, who make up about 15% of the population in Afghanistan, have been attacked repeatedly in recent months, including a gun assault on a shrine in Kabul in October.
Militants from so-called Islamic State have claimed similar attacks, including one in July at a Shia protest march in the capital which left 80 dead.
Taliban militants, who are trying to reimpose Islamic rule in Afghanistan, were quick to distance themselves from the strike.
“We condemn this blast,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.
