Kabul, Apr 19 (Prensa Latina) The school in Dasht-e-Barchi, a Shiite Hazar neighborhood in western Kabul, was hit by two explosions when students were leaving their morning classes, the Afghan police reported.

Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran said two improvised explosive devices were planted outside Abdul Rahim Shahid High School, in an area inhabited mainly by Shiites and frequently targeted by the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist group, Al-Jazeera reported.

The head of the school’s nursing department said at least four people were killed and 14 wounded.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

In May last year, at least 85 people – mainly students – were killed and some 300 wounded when three bombs exploded near a school in Dasht-e-Barchi.
