No group immediately took responsibility for the incident.

The explosion killed renowned Afghan cleric Mawalawi Ayaz Naizi.

The latest attack took place as the Afghan government and the Taliban are preparing for planned peace talks.

An effort to release about 5,000 Taliban prisoners – a precondition for those talks – is nearly completed.

However, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, while speaking in an online event initiated by the U.S.-based Atlantic Council, said that threats of the terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda, Islamic State, and others would not end with peace with the Taliban.

Ghani stressed that a cooperating agreement to fight against terrorism would be necessary.
