Victims’ Families Seek Thorough Probe into School Attack

Twenty days after multiple blasts near Sayed al-Shuhada High School in Kabul, victims’ families at an event on Friday said the government so far has not shared the results of its investigation; therefore, there is a need for a thorough probe into the incident.

The families warned that they will not send their children to school unless there are full-proof security measures by the government to protect the school from similar attacks in the future.

They also called on the Afghan government to identify organizers of the attack and renew its security policy for the west of Kabul. 

“Any school you attack will be more crowded and any tuition center you attack will emerge more vibrant,” said Abdullah Fazli, member of Afghanistan’s Shia Religious Scholars Council. 

“The government has not provided any response to us about who is behind the attack and why it happened,” said Mohammad Hakim, a victim’s family member. 

At least 90 people, most of them students, were killed and over 150 more were wounded in the attack that started with a car bomb explosion near the school and was followed by two more IED blasts in the same area. 

“I am wearing black to mourn the loss of my brother, but I don’t want to lose another brother,” said Habibullah, a family member of one of the victims. 

 “We want the school to reopen so that we do not miss our studies,” said Zahra, a student at Sayed al-Shuhada school.
