The bombing on Saturday evening shook the city's Shi'ite Muslim neighbourhood of Dasht-e-Barchi. The community, a religious minority in Afghanistan, has been targeted in the past by Islamic State militants, a Sunni militant group.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on Saturday blamed the attack on Taliban insurgents but a spokesperson for the Taliban denied involvement, saying the group condemns any attacks on Afghan civilians. Bodies were still being collected from morgues as the first burials were conducted in the west of the city. Some families were still searching for missing relatives on Sunday, gathering outside hospitals to read names posted on the walls, and checking morgues.
Left to their own devices, they certainly are a vicious, backward lot, are they not? When they're not killing other religions or races that don't share the same ideals as them.. ..they go about killing their own that try to uplift women or modernize themselves out of ignorance.
