Afghanistan: Funerals Begin for Dozens Killed in Massive Hospital Attack 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------



Funerals have begun in Afghanistan for the 38 people who died on
Saturday in a massive bomb blast at a hospital in the eastern Logar
province. The dead included pregnant women, children, doctors and
nurses. It has been described as the deadliest attack on a medical
facility in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban in 2001. Afghan
officials blamed the attack on the Taliban, but the group denied it.
