Gunmen and suicide bombers have stormed a Sikh religious premise in the heart of the Afghan capital’s old city on Wednesday morning, the Interior Ministry said.
It’s so far unclear who the attackers are. Defense forces arrived at the scene and blocked off the place of worship, known as a Gurdwara.
Narindra Singh Khalsa, a member of the Afghan parliament who represents the tiny Sikh community, said at least four people were killed. He explained that when the attack happened the place was packed with worshipers.
