An Afghan hospital official says an explosion inside a minority Shiite mosque in western Herat, on the border with Iran, has killed at least 20 people.

The official, Dr. Mohammed Rafique Shehrzad, said 20 bodies were brought to his Main Hospital in Herat city, the capital of western Herat province Monday night, soon after the blast shattered the late evening.

Shiites are a minority in Afghanistan and have been threatened by the Islamic State affiliate that operates in the country’s east.

2. Afghan mosque attack: Father of teen roboticist among victims in Herat

The father of an Afghan schoolgirl who took part in a recent robotics competition in the US was among those killed in an attack on a mosque in the city of Herat, her family has said.

Mohammad Asif Qaderyan, father of Fatemah Qaderyan, 14, died from injuries sustained in Tuesday's attack.

Fatemah was captain of the all-girl team that made headlines by taking part in the international event last month.
