Death toll nears 70 in bombing at Kabul school

A car bombing outside has left nearly 70 people dead and 165 wounded in Kabul on Saturday, Reuters reported.

The first bomb was detonated in front of  the Sayed Al-Shuhada school with two more bombs exploding as students tried to flee the scene.

Reuters reported that most of the deceased were school girls with some families still searching for their children at hospitals.

The bombing occurred in the Dasht-e-Barchi, which is home to a large Shi’ite, which has been a target of the Islamic State.

President Biden announced in April that all U.S. troops would be withdrawn from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Families of the victims blamed the government and Western countries for failing to end ongoing violence in the country.

Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani blamed the Taliban but a spokesman for the group denied involvement, Reuters reported.

China’s ambassador to Afghanistan Wang Yu blamed the violence on the withdrawal of U.S. troops.

China’s ambassador to Afghanistan Wang Yu blamed the violence on the withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Fine let the chicoms take over, they've people enough to sacrifice, but since they got their asses handed to them by the Indians I doubt they will do to well against the muzzies. Let every nation that blames America for pulling out send their children to die for the Afghanis or STFU, we have sacrificed enough of our young for a never to be ended religious war.
