Suicide Bomb Attack on Kabul School Kills 19, Mostly Young Women 
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Afghanistan, at least 19 people were killed and more than two dozen
others injured today as a suicide bomber targeted an education center in
the capital Kabul. The blast struck a predominantly Shia Muslim
neighborhood home to Kabul's minority Hazara community. Most of the dead
and wounded are female high school graduates who were studying for a
university entrance exam. This follows twin bombings at schools in the
same neighborhood earlier this year, and a 2021 blast that killed 85
people - most of them female students - while wounding 300 others.
