At least 50 people are feared dead and around 170 wounded in the suicide blast near a gathering of a mass demonstration in the Afghanistan capital on Saturday.

According to details, a suicide bomber hit a large demonstration by members of Afghanistan's Hazara minority in Kabul. Eye witnesses said that the attacker was in veil when he explodes himself. Photographs posted on social media showed bodies, apparently at the site of the explosion, close to where thousands of people had been protesting over the route of a planned multimillion dollar power line.

The Afghanis were just voicing opinion - that is the way they run elections over there.

Last man standing that still has a supply of ammunition is the winner.

Google Search for Hazara:

The Hazaras (Persian: هزاره‎‎) are a Persian-speaking people who mainly live in central Afghanistan, Hazara Town in Balochistan, Pakistan and Karachi.They are overwhelmingly Twelver Shia Muslims and make up the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan.

Sunni killing Shia. What a shocker. Not!.

Western media should have no trouble suggesting the bomber “had link to Anders Breivik” or something equally fatuous.

Newt rattled off 300+ deaths from such attacks since Jan we are now pushing 400. They even kill their own. None of them are sane. Keep them out of the USA.

The article said it was a Harzara demonstration. Afghanistan is ethnically divided. There’s 50 different languages, with Pashtuns and Tajiks the main ethnic groups, followed by Uzbeks, Hazaras, Nurustanis, and others. It’s like so many other middle eastern nations Britian cobbled together to deliberately weaken them. For example, the Pashtuns should be their own nation but are split between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Hazaras are a minority often discriminated against with an appearance and customs different from others.

I try and stay out of Memphis, that is bad enough. Since I moved out of the county, only time I go back is to go to the doctors as my small berg is not very rich in medical care. What does a immune sensitive senior need with a Pediatrician or a Family Practice which has to many germ laden children who have parents that don’t control them or teach them to cover their mouths when coughing/sneezing all over the place and people.
