AT LEAST 63 people have died and 182 were wounded in a suicide bombing of a wedding in Kabul.

Today Isis terror group claimed responsibility for the Saturday-night blast, which took place in a part of the Afghan capital that is home to many Shi’ite Hazara Muslims, a religious minority. Like al-Qaida, Isis follows the Saudi Wahhabi ideology, which condemns Shi’ite Islam. The organisation frequently targets Shi’ites for bombings and massacres.

An Isis-linked website said the slaughter was the work of a Pakistani Isis fighter who “sought martyrdom.”
