A major suicide bombing targeted a religious gathering in Kabul on Tuesday. The gathering was celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad. The government confirmed 50 dead, though the NGO running the hospital nearby said over 60 were killed, and 70 more wounded.
Religious scholars and clerics were gathered by the hundreds at Uranus Wedding Hall for the event, and were reciting passages from the Quran when the bomber arrived and detonated explosives in the crowd of people.
The attack caused chaos and overwhelmed emergency services. Some 30 ambulances had to be sent to collect the critically wounded. The Afghan government has announced a day of mourning on Wednesday over the deaths.
It is unclear who was behind the attack, and there have been no claims of credit. The Taliban issued a statement condemning the attack on a religious target. ISIS would be a possible culprit, but they have yet to offer any statement on the matter.
Who profits by these “suicide” bombings? You guessed it- the USA. More specifically, the military/industrial complex. Gotta keep those wars going and the big money flow they bring! If this happened in Israel or some other “Western” nation, the media would be filled with coverage and insinuations about the bombing. When it happens in an Arab/Muslim nation it is just another ho-hum news bite that Westerners quickly forget. The “war on terror” has to be replaced by a war ON the “war on terror”, that is, the truths about 911 and what has happened BASED on the 911 lie have to be exposed before this world blows itself up!
One bomb?
The US has dropped over five thousand bombs on Afghanistan this year . . .here
Why do they hate us?
Why would someone commit suicide for the USA in Afghanistan? In fact why all the suicide bombings of other Muslims that occur all the time? Lets get the hell out of there. Its nuts. I know why they hate us. But still?
US soldiers willingly give their lives for US imperialism, their families say they have gone to a better place and the government uses their sacrifice to sustain its imperialism.
Muslims in the many countries where the US conducts widespread kidnapping, torture, displacement, death, injury and destruction have fewer options. You wiped out my family? I have nothing to live for, so I will strap one on.
Trump mentioned Mosul as a standard for his new Afghan offensive. It’s many orders of magnitude worse than what one suicide bomber can do.
