       The ISIS murder boast was conveyed via the Aamaq news agency, which is linked to the death cult, and cited by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant postings.

       The atrocity was the latest in a series of killing sprees targeting Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers.

       Religious institutions and members of the country's minority Shiites have not been spared the murders.

       This includes a mosque attack in Kabul in which at least 12 were killed.

       The Taliban had confirmed the mosque attack, however, the exact numbers of wounded people have not been revealed before the media.

       The locals of Kunduz city told local media that the deadly attack took place during the Friday prayers.
