Eye on Extremism: August 18, 202

“A bombing at a mosque in the Afghan capital of Kabul during evening prayers on Wednesday killed at least 10 people, including a prominent cleric, and wounded at least 27, an eyewitness and police said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, the latest to strike the country in the year since the Taliban seized power. Several children were reported to be among the wounded. The Islamic State group’s local affiliate has stepped up attacks targeting the Taliban and civilians since the former insurgents’ takeover last August as U.S. and NATO troops were in the final stages of their withdrawal from the country. Last week, the IS claimed responsibility for killing a prominent Taliban cleric at his religious center in Kabul. According to the eyewitness, a resident of the city’s Kher Khanna neighborhood where the Siddiquiya Mosque was targeted, the explosion was carried out by a suicide bomber. The slain cleric was Mullah Amir Mohammad Kabuli, the eyewitness said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. He added that more than 30 other people were wounded. The Italian Emergency hospital in Kabul said that at least 27 wounded civilians, including five children, were brought there from the site of the bomb blast. There were fears the casualty numbers could rise further.”Associated Press: Bombing At Kabul Mosque Kills 10, Including Prominent Cleric“Spain has held several ceremonies to mark the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks in Catalonia in 2017. A sombre ceremony in the centre of Barcelona on Wednesday was attended by hundreds, including the president of the region, Pere Aragonès, and the city's mayor, Ada Colau. Officials and relatives of the victims lay wreaths in front of the memorial plaque on the Las Ramblas pavement. Sixteen people were killed and more than 120 others injured in the attacks, which were carried out by a cell of the so-called Islamic State (IS) group. The death toll included some foreign tourists from Belgium, Germany, Italy and Portugal. A number of institutional ceremonies were held in the country to remember the victims of the attacks, whil others protested that Spain has failed to acknowledge the “silent suffering” of many since 2017. According to a recent court ruling, more than 350 people are still struggling with physical or psychological injuries as a result of the Barcelona and Cambrils attacks. “In August 2017, Barcelona and Cambrils suffered hatred and terror in their streets,” tweeted Spanish Prime MinisterPedro Sánchez. “Five years later, we remember the victims of these attacks with our sights set on continuing to build a future of peace. Let us continue to move forward united for freedom and coexistence.”Euronews: Spain Marks Five Years Since Terror Attacks In Barcelona And Cambrils
