New Delhi, Oct 16 (TIWN) Exactly a week after a suicide bombing at a mosque in Afghanistan's Kunduz city killed more than 45 people, an explosion was reported at a mosque in Kandahar on Friday, according to officials.

A local reporter in Kandahar told Reuters that eyewitnesses had described three suicide attackers, one of whom blew himself up at the entrance to the mosque with the two others detonating their devices inside the building.  "The situation is very bad. Mirwais hospital is messaging and calling on young people to give blood," he said, referring to a local hospital where dead and injured had been taken.  Photographs and mobile phone footage posted by journalists on social media showed many people apparently dead or seriously wounded on the bloody floor of the Imam Bargah mosque.
