Suicide Bombing Kills At least 48 Muslim Children in Afganistan
August 16
A bomb tore through a university preparatory academy in Kabul, killing 48 and injuring 67 others, according to the country's Health Ministry.
The attacker targeted the private school in the minority Hazara neighborhood where a group of young men and women were studying for university entrance exams.
The Taliban denied involvement in the attack, and there was no immediate claim of responsibility. Islamic State extremists have in the past targeted Shiite Muslim Hazaras, who they consider apostates.
Jawad Ghawari, a senior Shiite cleric, blamed the ISIS. There have been at least 13 attacks on the Shiite community in Kabul alone, he said.buy Pepcid generic buy Pepcid generic
