All the victims who were killed in Wednesday’s suicide bombing in a classroom at an education center in Kabul were under the age of 20 - some as young as 14. 
 
In addition the majority of victims were from poor families - many from farming families. The victims had all been attending classes in preparation for the university entrance exam.
 
Eyewitnesses meanwhile described the explosion and said it ripped through the classroom tearing bodies apart. 
 
Several students who survived the attack have said that they have no faith in the government leaders and the security officials.
 
In a new development however it appears the attacker could have been a registered student at the Mawoud Academy, survivors said. 

Survivors however described their ordeal and said they were lucky to be alive. 
 
“I came out with the other girls, my hands were covered in blood, then I realized that I even was not hurt and I was alive,” said one student Zeenat.
 
“Their (students) crime is that they are trying to get an education, they are learning to become doctors, to become engineers and build their future and then others do not tolerate this,” said Fahim, a relative of one of the victims.
 
Sayed Ali and Faraidoon who survived the attack are from Ghazni province.
 
“My father is a farmer in Jaghori, I came here to study,” said student Sayed Ali.
 
But Rahman and Ezzatullah who came to Kabul ten days ago did not survive and were buried today in Kabul along with their dreams.
 
Kawsar, 14, is another victim who was in Grade 9 but was attending classes at the academy in the hope of eventually going to Kabul Medical University.
 
“I took Kawsar to the taxi with the help of one of our classmates, I thought she was unconscious. On the way the driver said check if she is breathing, when I checked, she was not breathing,” said Kawsar’s brother Yasir.
 
This year over 160 students from the academy were accepted by to top medical universities. Last year’s top scorer also came from the same academy.
 
Meanwhile, the devastated families of students killed in the deadly classroom bombing on Thursday laid their loved ones to rest.
 
Health officials on Wednesday night confirmed at least 48 had been killed in the explosion. Eyewitnesses said however the death toll was more likely around 60.
 
However, on Thursday morning the health department revised down the death toll from 48 to 34 – citing only that some bodies had been “double-counted”
