Twin explosions targeting a large demonstration by members of Afghanistan's ethnic Hazara minority have killed at least 61 people and wounded 207 others, officials have said.
The attack, near one of the most heavily fortified areas of the capital, Kabul, was quickly claimed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), who have previously targeted the Hazara people.
"Two fighters from Islamic State detonated explosive belts at a gathering of Shi'ites in… the city of Kabul in Afghanistan," Amaq, an ISIL-linked website, said.
