Blast kills dozens near school in Afghan capital Kabul
Al Jazeera, 09 May 2021
Warning - this report contains some graphic images.
At least 55 people, mostly schoolgirls - have been killed in multiple blasts outside a school in the Afghan capital Kabul and more than 150 others were injured.
President Ashraf Ghani said the Taliban was behind the attack - but the armed group says ISIL (ISIS) is to blame.
The attack took place in a predominately Shia and Hazara neighbourhood, groups that have often been the targets of violence due to religious and political differences.
