Afghanistan: Death Toll from Kabul Bombing Rises to 150, Making It Deadliest Attack Since 2001

HeadlineJun 06, 2017

In breaking news from Afghanistan, at least seven civilians have been killed and another 16 wounded in a blast outside a mosque in western Afghanistan today. This comes as the death toll from last week’s massive suicide bombing in Kabul has risen to more than 150 people, making it the deadliest attack in Kabul since the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001. Although the attack struck a diplomatic area near several embassies, all of the bombing’s victims were Afghan.
