A week ago, two people died after a hand grenade exploded during a cricket match in Afghanistan's capital, Kabul.
At least eight people died after a bomb hidden in a cart went off on Friday in the Sar-e-Kariz area, Kabul, the Taliban* said.
"Once again, the enemy carried out an attack on (holy days) and killed innocent civilians," Khalid Zadran, the Taliban-appointed spokesman for the Kabul police chief, said, adding that an investigation has been launched.
The blast occurred near a mosque in the Shiite neighborhood.
A video allegedly filmed at the site of the blast has emerged online, showing people screaming and fleeing in panic. According to local reports, dozens of others were wounded.
