This can't be good. I really hope this isn't going to be a death toll keeps rising through the day. The number already are horrendous enough. Prayers for the victims of course. This madness needs to stop.
Eta: you edited the post while I was posting. I was really hoping the numbers wouldn't climb, seems they have already.... Sigh, so sad

Kabul: IS claims responsibility for suicide attack; 61 killed, more than 200 wounded
Evidently the US news is more concerned with the election.

"ISIS" would claim responsibility for every terrorist act, everywhere if it could.
The demonstration was against a new transmission power line to be built by the government, the attack occurred amongst those demonstrators.
Two guesses who the current regime is really governed by.
I don't understand these people. Kabul? Why Kabul?
The list of the Islamic States’ grievances against the “nationalist” Taliban are long, and most of it involves criticizing its alliances towards groups that ISIS also loathes, such as Shias and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate. ISIS reserves the greatest loathing for the Shia, whom it labels as the Rafidah, or rejectors, a term considered incredibly derogatory. The 13th issue of Dabiq dedicates dozens of pages to attacking and explaining the necessity of killing Shia, going through the history of how Persia became Shia before concluding: Initiated by a sly Jew, [the Shia] are an apostate sect drowning in worship of the dead, cursing the best companions and wives of the Prophet , spreading doubt on the very basis of the religion (the Qur’ān and the Sunnah), defaming the very honor of the Prophet , and preferring their “twelve” imāms to the prophets and even to Allah! …Thus, the Rāfidah are mushrik [polytheist] apostates who must be killed wherever they are to be found, until no Rāfidī walks on the face of earth, even if the jihād claimants despise such… Not surprisingly, then, the Taliban are roundly condemned for believing otherwise, and the Taliban have historically not have had the best relations with the Shia minorities in Afghanistan or with the state of Iran. Afghanistan’s Taliban government nearly went to war with Iran in 1998. Dabiq attacked the Taliban for “considering the Rāfidah to be their brothers and publicly denouncing those who target the Rāfidah:”
DAESH are trying to get a bigger foothold in Afghanistan they cause mayhem wherever they can...

Whoever ISIS isn't attacking might be who gives them their orders. Notice how ISIS mainly targets civilians instead of the ones making policies and laws. Hmmm...

Afghan government is a puppet regime of the US occupation.
They do what they are told. Anyone know what the power transmission lines are for?
