Twin explosions targeting a large demonstration by members of Afghanistan's ethnic Hazara minority in the capital, Kabul, have killed at least 61 people and wounded 207 others, officials have said.

Mohammad Ismail Kawoosi, the health ministry spokesman, told the AFP news agency that the death toll from Saturday's blasts could rise further.

The attack was quickly claimed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), who have previously targeted the Hazara people.

"Two fighters from Islamic State detonated explosive belts at a gathering of Shi'ites in... the city of Kabul in Afghanistan," Amaq, an ISIL-linked website, said.

Did a search and found nothing. Seems the government put up containers to block the march, which stopped ambulances from reaching the victims.

Damn man. Seems like everyday there's some new shooting or bombing. R.I.P.

 

[carlsojo]

What a world.

 

[Mac the KNife]

The attack, near one of the most heavily fortified areas of the capital, Kabul

That's not good.

 

[Joni]

I would just live in a tiny hut outside of a big city. I'd be scared to enter Kabul.

 

[ElTorro]

Jesus.

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Just saw this on twitter. My condolences to the people of Afghanistan.
I don't even know what else to say anymore...

 

[Kenshin001]

Taliban and/or al Qaeda.

It says right there in the OP. It was IS.

 

[Scum]

:-(

 

[Zukuu]

I will never understand the mindset of these fucks. That's quite a high body count. RIP.

 

[sflufan]

Targeting Shiites? Yep, that's the Islamic State alright.

 

[WedgeX]

Terrible.

 

[IHaveIce]

Holy... this is tragic

Fuck IS

 

[NHarmonic.]

The world can't go a day without this events, RIP to the victims...

 

[Yamauchi]

Wow, that sucks.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Disgusting.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Terrible. How do you even begin to stop those things when two people can just strap a bomb on and blow themselves up.

 

[Mohonky]

You cant.

 

[BeforeU]

its really frustrating to read these headlines everyday. People are just killing each other for hatred and their fucked up ideology.

 

[The Technomancer]

Just saw this. Horrifying

 

[Kenshin001]

Oddly this was condemned by the Taliban, who spent years persecuting the Hazaras during their rule. The area they were protesting about is where the Taliban blew up the giant Buddhas.

Turf war? I'm pretty sure ISIS and the Taliban are enemies.

 

[HardRojo]

I wonder when Earth will get tired of this bullshit and just press the reset button for humanity...

 

[RoadHazard]

Fucking evil animals. Again and again.

 

[Klyka]

Just put on Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower and then see this thread title. Bizarre.

God damn man made tragedies day after day after day.

 

[Arex]

goddammit

 

[Vire]

A daily occurrence now. Filth, fucking scumbag animals.

Both the Afghanistan Taliban and al-Qaeda changed their tactics years ago when they concluded that targeting Shiite Muslims was counterproductive to their goals.

 

[metalslimer]

Death toll up to 80 now

[DontBeThatGuy]

Shit's hopeless.

 

[The Artisan]

it feels like when shit like this happens it doesn't make breaking news like it does when it happens in the western world

 

[Daffy Duck]

Fuck 2016 man.

 

[FuturusX]

it feels like when shit like this happens it doesn't make breaking news like it does when it happens in the western world

Feels?

No question. These lives are treated with less value, no doubt.

 

[Agremont]

*sigh*

 

[rokkerkory]

2016 man... so many people dying including people I know. (((((((((((((

 

[Wizard of GAF]

Feels?

No question. These lives are treated with less value, no doubt.

dude you know what he meant, c'mon.

Anyways, I feel great pain when hundreds of years of collective life is just lost. Just like that. The world is hurting.

 

[Ragnar Blackmane]

Well, no one is going to illuminate buildings in the Afghani colours for this one the world over. What a world we live in. Just another day in the middle east, eh?
Sad how normal this has become, it'll just be another minor headline in western media.

 

[Davidion]

As someone on my twitter feed noted, the interest in keeping up with the world conflicts with the interest in staying sane.

This is so sad; hope this gets more air time.

 

[spekkeh]

Does anyone know whether there is any difference between the Taliban and IS? Are they vying for power, or is it kind of whatever way the wind is blowing?

 

[- J - D -]

The Hazara community can't catch a break, damn. RIP victims.

 

[Breakage]

This kind of stuff isn't going to disappear. So many lives cut short because of this ideology.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

More innocent lives lost.

 

[Stinkles]

Bush and Cheney should be in jail with Tony Blair.

 

[Deleted member 20920]

Man......

I hope this gets more attention from the rest of the world. But I doubt it will...

We're all in it together...It's ISIS against the world and not Muslims against the world.

 

[Ric Flair]

We need to send in multiple spec. Ops from all opposing nations and kill them all in their sleep. Isis needs to die

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Fucking hell.

RIP

 

[Always-honest]

Disgusting.

 

[TheRealTalker]

RIP to the victims

so many dead
