61 die in bombing

AT least 61 people were killed and hundreds injured as two suicide bombers struck amid a peaceful protest.

Islamic State claimed it was behind the attack on a Shia minority group in Kabul.

If so it would mark the first attack by Isis on civilians in the city.

A spokesman for the Afghan government said over 200 people were wounded, though this figure could rise.

Afghanistan has been largely spared sectarian violence that plagues neighbouring Pakistan.
