Hand grenade wounds at least six in Kabul mosque

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan police say a hand grenade has been thrown into Kabul’s largest mosque as worshippers knelt in afternoon prayer, wounding at least six people. The reason for Wednesday’s attack on the 18th century Pul-e-Khishti mosque in the middle of Kabul’s old city was unclear. One suspect is in Taliban custody, Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran said. No one has claimed responsibility but it was the second grenade attack in less than a week. At the weekend a grenade was thrown into the middle of a market occupied by money changers, killing one person and wounding 59 others.
