A Sunni Muslim terrorist group in Pakistan has claimed responsibility for twin suicide bombings which killed 60 people in Afghanistan on Tuesday in the worst outbreak of sectarian violence in the country since the NATO occupation began 10 years ago.

The victims of the blasts were Shi’ite Muslims marking the major religious holiday of Ashoura in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif. The blast in the capital was one of the most deadly in several years, in a country where suicide bombings happen on a regular basis.

The Taliban, which has condemned the violence, claims NATO orchestrated the attacks to create an excuse to stay in Afghanistan. But a spokesman for the Pakistani militant group Lashkar-i-Jhangvi claimed it was responsible for the terrorist attacks. The authenticity of the claim is difficult to verify.
