Gunmen and suicide bombers raided a Sikh religious complex in the Afghan capital of Kabul on March 25, killing 25 people before security forces killed all of the attackers, the government said.

The ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement. Sikhs have been the target of attack by radical Islamic terrorists before in South Asia. Their community in Afghanistan numbers fewer than 300 families.
