* The explosion ripped through a meeting of top clerics at a wedding hall in Kabul
* Officials say at least 50 are dead and 80 more injured after the suicide bombing
* Blast targeted an Ulema Council meeting to mark Prophet Mohammad's birthday
At least 50 people have been killed and 80 more injured in a suicide bomb attack on a gathering to mark the Prophet Mohammad's birthday in Afghanistan.
The explosion ripped through a meeting of top clerics during a banquet at a wedding hall in Kabul today in one of the deadliest attacks to strike the Afghan capital in months.
No one immediately claimed the attack, but both the Taliban and a local ISIS affiliate have targeted religious scholars aligned with the government in the past.
Hardline Sunni Muslims do not observe 'mawlid' - the Prophet Mohammad's birthday - at all, considering it a more modern addition to Islam. When ISIS seized the Iraqi city of Mosul in 2014, it banned celebrating the prophet's birth.

Funny how cnn chooses to push a story about white supremacy in south Africa (only to link it to Trump) as their main homepage story for 48hrs straight while there's so many bigger stories going on. But how can you link 50 people killed in a suicide blast to Trump or white people being the problem of it all (see Don lemon's statement)? Maybe they can call it his and white people''s fault because of the travel ban? I'm sure they're working overtime there to make it happen. Cnn. Where -you- are programed to hate on white people. Go cnn.go divide us.
