A suicide bomber has killed at least six people near a mosque in Afghanistan's northern Baghlan province, say officials.
The bomb went off as worshippers were leaving the mosque in Old Baghlan City after prayers marking the start of the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha.
Officials said at least 12 people were injured in the blast and that a police officer was among those killed.
The Taliban routinely carry out such attacks on civilians and troops.
