Taliban authorities in Afghanistan said a bomb ripped through a crowded mosque in eastern Nangarhar province Friday during afternoon prayers, wounding at least 15 worshippers.
Provincial government spokesman Mohammad Hanif told VOA the explosive device was planted inside the mosque, but he said there were no deaths.
Eyewitnesses reported a much higher casualty toll, however. The mosque in the Spin Ghar district was attended by Sunni Muslims.
