		</div><p>The death toll in the bombing of a mass protest in Kabul has risen to 61, an Afghan official said.</p>
<p>Dr Waheed Majroeh, the head of international relations for the ministry of public health, said 207 people were also wounded by the blast, which was claimed by the Islamic State group.</p>
<p>The bombing struck a group of ethnic Hazara demonstrators who had been marching through Kabul.</p>
<p>A statement reported by the IS-linked Aamaq online news agency said two IS militants detonated their explosive vests amid the crowds of minority ethnic Hazara demonstrators.</p>
<p> are predominantly Shiite Muslims, and IS views all Shiites as apostates. Shortly before the IS statement, the Taliban’s spokesman denied any Taliban involvement in the blast.</p>
<p>The Taliban have been waging a vicious insurgency against the Kabul government for 15 years, since their regime was overthrown by the US invasion in 2001.</p>
<p>The marchers were demanding that a major regional electric power line be routed through their impoverished home province. Most Hazaras are Shiite Muslims but most Afghans are Sunni.</p>
