>> a bad scene in afghanistan . officials there believe that this wave of violence was timed specifically to mar the observance of a holy day in that country.
>> that’s right, matt. three separate attacks within minutes of each other, the deadliest of them in kabul as hundreds of worshippers gathered at a shiite shrine. let’s go straight to atia abawi.
>> reporter: good morning, ann. coordinated attacks in afghanistan are rare in itself but coordinated sectarian violence is pretty much unheard of in afghanistan . what we saw was the first attack taking place at a shrine in kabul. 50 people were dead, 150 people wounded. then there was an attack in the north of afghanistan where four people were killed, also at a shrine and 21 wounded. in southern afghanistan , in kandahar, another blast. luckily no people were killed but six were wounded in that attack. what makes this very unique is the fact that they did attack during a shia holy day . many trying to mark a day in the shia religion where they are marking mourning really, the loss of imam hussein but what’s really unique is the taliban sent an e-mail condemning the attack. they say this is a plot by the enemies of afghanistan that are trying to divide the afghan people and the afghan nation.
>> obviously a very chaotic scene this. the story is still developing. thank you so much.
