HeadlineMay 21, 2018

In Afghanistan, a series of bombings at a cricket match killed eight people and wounded dozens more in the eastern city of Jalalabad Friday night. On Twitter, the chairman of the Afghanistan Cricket Board wrote, “Cricket has been a source of happiness & pride for all Afghans, it has played a key role in bringing peace and uniting people. These attacks are against peace, unity and humanity.” The Taliban has denied responsibility for the attack, which occurred during the holy month of Ramadan.
