Kabul suicide attack massive casualties

[ziaulislam]

Thats better, whoever is behind this innocent bloodshed should get into hell (even if it is Pakistani establishment) but I am sure that Pakistan is not behind this and it is propaganda ...

Pakistan supports both Taliban and Afghan as both are the ground reality, Taliban are not foreigners but are the people of the land having support from most of the local population and the only way peace can prevail in Afghanistan is not by killing Taliban but by reconciliation between Taliban and current Afghani regime ... US have to get out of Afghanistan ...

Pakistan neither has the brain nor resources to support any kind of insurgency let alone a full blown insurgency..everyone knows this..example, india spending billions couldnt support a full blown insurgency in baluchistan

the money is coming from half a trillion dollar world trade of opium while man power from mix of ideology, political mess, deprivation and corruption

At least 34 people were killed in a suicide bomb attack in front of an education centre in the west of the Afghan capital, Kabul, according to the health ministry.

Wednesday's attack in the Shia neighbourhood of Dasht-e-Barchi left dozens more injured, Waheed Majrooh, a spokesman for Afghanistan's ministry of public health, told Al Jazeera.

The health ministry previously announced the death toll as 48. It was revised to 34 on Thursday.

It was not clear how many students were at the centre - which specialises in preparing students for university exams - at the time of the attack.

The explosion initially set off gunfire from Afghan guards in the area, leading to assumptions that there were more attackers involved, but officials later said all indications were that there was only one bomber.

"We can confirm the attack was caused by a suicide bomber on foot. The bomber detonated himself inside the education centre," said Hashmat Stanikzai, police spokesman.

Abdul Hossain Hossainzada, a Shia community leader in the neighbourhood in western Kabul, said the bomber apparently targeted the course, which had young men and women studying together.

Zabihullah Mujahid, Taliban spokesman, denied involvement in the attack.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the violence, which was swiftly condemned by President Ashraf Ghani in a statement.

Jawad Ghawari, a member of the city's Shia clerical council, blamed the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group, which has carried similar attacks in the past, hitting mosques, schools and cultural centres.

In the past two years, Ghawari said there were at least 13 attacks on the Shia community in Kabul alone.

Abdullah Khenjani, the editor-in-chief at Afghanistan's 1TV broadcaster, told Al Jazeera from Kabul: "There is a suspicion that Taliban is using ISIL's name to decrease the public pressure when it comes to these kinds of very brutal attacks on civilians, especially young children."

KABUL: Gunmen attacked an area around a security base and training center for Afghanistan’s intelligence service on Thursday in the capital Kabul, officials said.

Staff and officials at the center took shelter in a protected area of the compound as gunfire came from a half-finished building near the site.

Kabul police spokesman Hashmat Stanekzai said the attackers were firing rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons but it was unclear how many gunmen were involved.

The area around the site was closed off but media reported that gunfire and at least one explosion could be heard.

There was no initial word on any casualties or claim of responsibility.

Military and intelligence facilities in Kabul have been regularly targeted by insurgents.

The latest incident comes at a time of high tension following a series of attacks including a full-scale assault on the city of Ghazni last week.

Most of the children killed in this attack were from Ghazni when their families did not supported ANA. This is what NDS did to their children. All hazara Shia from Ghazni killed by ISIS who was airlifted by ANA when they were attacked by Taliban and that same ISIS is being funded by India.
