Sunday’s Attack Victims Laid To Rest

A man, along with four of his female relatives, who were killed in Sunday’s suicide bombing in Dasht-e-Barchi in Kabul, were buried on Monday. 

The man, Mohammad Jawad, 38, was killed with his relatives, outside the population registration office in Kabul when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives among the people. 

According to surviving relatives, four other family members were also wounded in the attack. 

Mohammad Jawad is survived by six children, a wife and his elderly mother. 

Now his eldest son, Hamza, who is only 16 years old and is in Grade 9, will have to take care of his family. 

“When I came back from school, my mother was crying. At first I thought they (father and mother) had an argument, but then she said my father had been killed,” said Hamza. 

“Two sisters, a woman and a girl, who had just married, were also killed,” Mohammad Zahir, Jawad’s uncle said. 

Although members of the family said they were angry at government for its failure to maintain security at the center, they said they would still vote in the upcoming elections. 

“This is all because of government’s failure to maintain people's security,” said Mohammad Ewas, another uncle of Jawad. 

“We will not step back by seeing such incidents and will continue our efforts (to vote in elections),” Ghulam Reza, another relative said. 

Almost 60 people were killed and over 100 were wounded in Sunday’s attack. All victims were civilians. 

Daesh claimed responsibility for the attack.
