Suicide bombers attacked a Shiite mosque packed with worshippers attending Friday prayers in southern Afghanistan, killing at least 32 people and wounding 68, according to a Taliban official.

The attack came a week after a bombing claimed by the local Islamic State affiliate killed 46 people at a Shiite mosque in northern Afghanistan.

A witness in charge of security at the mosque said he saw one bomber detonate explosives outside the gate as another bomber was already among the worshippers inside the mosque.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Six people were shot and injured in Minneapolis in three separate incidents that occurred within 45 minutes of each other Thursday.

The incidents occurred between 9 and 10 p.m. on the 1800 block of Lowry Avenue, the 2000 block of 3rd Avenue South, and the 800 block of Franklin Avenue.

Each of the six people shot were taken to the hospital. Their conditions are currently unknown.

The Career Development Center opened a new space in the beginning of August on the first floor of Murray-Herrick Campus Center for students with career exploration questions, and also expanding to include alumni and employer engagement.

The new space, dubbed the Center for Alumni Engagement, Career Development and Corporate and Employer Partnerships, or ACC for short, was prompted by a want for student collaboration and for students to have proper resources and feel supported during their job search.
