Reuters reported that most of the deceased were school girls with some families still searching for their children at hospitals. ADVERTISEMENTThe bombing occurred in the Dasht-e-Barchi, which is home to a large Shi’ite, which has been a target of the Islamic State. Families of the victims blamed the government and Western countries for failing to end ongoing violence in the country. China’s ambassador to Afghanistan Wang Yu blamed the violence on the withdrawal of U.S. troops.
