A demonstration has been held in the Iranian capital to condemn Saturday’s multiple explosions in Kabul that killed scores of people, most of them little girls. Demonstrators gathered outside the Afghan embassy to express solidarity with Afghanistan.
Messages of sympathy with the Afghan nation echoed from Tehran following the deadly terrorist raid on Saturday that killed dozens of school girls in Kabul. Scores of people lost their lives in explosions caused by a car bomb and mortar shells targeting a school in the Shia majority neighborhood of Dasht-e-Barchi in western Kabul. An eyewitness reported that the victims of the attack were mostly female students headed on their way back home after finishing school.
