KABUL: An attacker dressed in a school uniform set off a grenade amid a group of hundreds of university students in Afghanistan’s capital on Sunday, killing himself and wounding five students, according to the district police chief.
The attacker, who slipped past two guards, was wearing an explosives vest that failed to explode, Nasir Nadery said. The students were inside a private compound where they were taking classes to prepare for university exams.
The attack took place in a Kabul neighborhood dominated by ethnic Hazaras, a Shiite minority frequently targeted by Sunni extremists. No one immediately claimed the attack, which resembled previous assaults carried out by ISIS.
A sticky bomb attached to the motorcycle driven by a retired Pakistani army officer exploded in Afghanistan’s southern Zabul Province’s Shahjoy district, killing the officer and his guard, according to the provincial government spokesman, Gul Islam Seyal.
