A suicide bomber detonated explosives in a crowd that was watching a volleyball match near Yosuf Khelf in eastern Afghanistan. 40 were killed and 60 were wounded as a result. Even though most of the victims were civilians, eight members of the Afghan Local Police, a village-based paramilitary outfit that supports the Afghan government, were among the dozens that were killed. Volleyball is a popular form of entertainment in rural Afghanistan. Matches usually attract sizable crowds of young men.
I suspect that ISIS is behind this, even though they have not claimed the attack yet. ISIS has already been known for using suicide bombers. I think it is awful that so many people died when the attacker may had just been targeting the members of the Afghan Local Police. This is evidence that ISIS, or whoever the attackers were, are a huge problem. Their carelessness and little concern for innocent bystanders proves that they are even more dangerous and need to be stopped.
I agree with the idea of is is being behind this ... it really sucks that amongst all of the innocents people that were killed were police. I say this because Afghanistan is gonna be short kn people to protect them
ReplyDeleteI heard about this on the news. It's absolutely horrible! Not even a simple volleyball match is safe for these people anymore.
