A suicide bomber on Sunday detonated his vest at a voter registration centre in the Afghan capital Kabul killing at least 31 people and injuring many according to health officials. Al Jazeera reports that Kabul's acting police chief, Mohammad Daoud Amin, said the assailant detonated his explosives at the doorway of the ID distribution centre in the capital at 10am (05:30 GMT) on Sunday.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group had since claimed responsibility for the attack via its online news portal, Amaq. A public health ministry official said ambulances evacuated dozens of wounded, adding that the death toll may rise.
The blast occurred in the Dasht-e-Barchi area of western Kabul where many of the country's Shia Hazara minority reside. The report says there have been attacks at other registration centres in the past week.
Meanwhile, the Nation's Chief Executive, Abdullah Abdullah has condemned the attack assuring that the war against terror would be sustained. His tweet posted on his verified handle @afgexecutive read
"I strongly condemn the terrorist attack on voters' registration center in Kabul. I stand with those affected by this coward attack. Our resolve for fair and transparent election will continue and terrorists won't win against the will of the Afghan people."
