December 28, 2017Dozens are dead and wounded after a suicide attack in Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul. According to recent reports, 41 people are dead and 84 others injured. The terrorists targeted a Shiite cultural center.
“Local media reported there were two suicide bombers,” NPR’s Diaa Hadid reports from Islamabad.”One of them detonated his explosives at the gate of a Shiite cultural center — the blast also damaged an Iranian-owned news agency.”
That Iran-backed news outlet, the Afghan Voice Agency, says its offices are housed in the Tabyan Cultural Center that was targeted. It also says one journalist was killed and others were wounded.
ISIS has claimed responsibility.
“I have little doubt that this attack deliberately targeted civilians,” said Toby Lanzer, acting head of the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. “Today in Kabul we have witnessed another truly despicable crime in a year already marked by unspeakable atrocities.”

I know this isn’t on our soil, but this is still a huge and devastating attack. ISIS is a cancer, and it must be completely destroyed.
