Spokesman Abdul Matin Qani said, &#8220;A man opened fire on Sufi followers participating in weekly rituals at a shrine in the remote district of Nahrin, killing 10 people.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">A resident of Nahrin, who knew some of the victims, told AFP, &#8220;The worshippers had gathered at Sayyed Pasha Agha shrine on Thursday evening and had started Sufi chants when a man opened fire on about 10 worshippers.&#8221; He added, &#8220;When others came for prayer in the morning, they discovered the bodies.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Sufi followers have often been targeted during rituals and gatherings in Afghanistan. In April 2022, 33 people, including children, were killed in a blast targeting a Sufi mosque during Friday prayers in Kunduz province. Although the number of bombings has decreased since the Taliban took power in August 2021, extremist groups like ISIS-K continue to launch attacks occasionally, according to AFP. In September, ISIS-K claimed responsibility for an attack in central Afghanistan that killed 14 people gathered to receive visitors returning from the city of Karbala in Iraq.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten worshippers were killed when a man opened fire on a Sufi shrine in Baghlan province in northeastern Afghanistan, according to the Ministry of Interior spokesperson, who spoke to AFP on Friday.
