"As a result of the attack 80 people were martyred and 231 others were wounded," the interior ministry said. "The horrific attack on a group of peaceful protestors in Kabul demonstrates the utter disregard that armed groups have for human life," Amnesty International said in a statement. "Based on initial information, the attack was carried out by three suicide bombers... "Two fighters of the Islamic State detonated their explosive belts in a gathering of Shiites in... Kabul," Amaq said.The attack represents a major escalation for IS, which so has largely been confined to the eastern province of Nangarhar. The third attacker was gunned down by security forces.
