Ten people were killed when a gunman opened fire on a Sufi shrine in Afghanistan’s northern Baghlan province, an interior ministry spokesman told on Friday. “A man fired on Sufis taking part in a weekly ritual at a shrine in a remote area of Nahrin district, killing 10 people,” the ministry’s Abdul Matin Qani said. A Nahrin resident, who knew victims of the attack, told that worshippers had gathered at the Sayed Pacha Agha shrine on Thursday evening. They had begun a Sufi chant when “a man shot at the dozen worshippers”, he said on condition of anonymity. “When people arrived for morning prayers, they discovered the bodies,” he added. Attacks regularly target Sufis during rituals or gatherings in Afghanistan, a country with a very large Muslim majority but where the Taliban authorities impose a of Islamic law, or Sharia, which is different from Sufism. In April 2022, , including children, were killed in an explosion that targeted a Sufi mosque during Friday prayers in Kunduz province. The number of bomb attacks has fallen since the Taliban authorities returned to power in 2021, but extremists and the regional branch of the militant Islamic State group, the Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K), still attack targets they consider heretical. In September, the IS-K responsibility for an attack in central Afghanistan that killed 14 people who had gathered to welcome pilgrims returning from the holy site of Karbala in Iraq.
