osque in Kunduz province near the country's border with Tajikistan, was the fourth major attack in Afghanistan in four days and stoked fears that the country may be heading into a violent spring when warmer weather has historically allowed militants to carry out offensives.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban's chief spokesperson, said 33 people had been killed, children among them, and 43 wounded. Local residents feared that the death toll would climb. Two days later, another explosion ripped through a Shiite mosque in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif, killing at least 10 people and wounding more than two dozen, local officials said. Around the same time, an explosion targeted a minibus in Kunduz, about 100 miles to the east, killing at least four people and wounding 18, a police spokesperson said.
