Three explosions occurred today near a school west of the Afghan capital Kabul where six people were killed and several students were injured, Afghan safety and health officials announced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“Three explosions have taken place\u2026 in a high school, the victims are several,” said Khalid Zadran, a Taliban spokesman in Kabul.<\/p>\n
He later added that six people had been killed and 11 injured in the blasts.<\/p>\n
Most of the area belongs to the Shia Hazara Muslim community, which has been attacked by the Sunni majority or the Islamic State.<\/p>\n
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which comes after a relative period of calm in the winter months, following the withdrawal of US troops last year.<\/p>\n
Afghanistan’s new government says it has deployed security since arriving on vacation in August, but officials say the risk of attacks by other groups remains high.<\/p>\n
An internal investigation official said the explosives were hidden in backpacks and exploded inside the school gates.<\/p>\n
Several successive administrations have failed to stop attacks in western Kabul, including mosques or hospitals. An explosion last year in a girl’s school left about 80 people, mostly female students.<\/p>\n
