6:57Now PlayingA bombing in Afghanistan has claimed the lives of over 150 people. Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola, and Jimmy Dore, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you what happened. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said Tuesday that more than 150 people died in last week's truck bombing in Kabul, raising earlier counts and making it one of the deadliest such attacks since the American-led invasion toppled the Taliban in 2001.
"Over 150 entirely innocent Afghan sons and daughters were killed and more than three hundred were brought to hospital with burns, lacerations, and amputations," Afghan news site TOLOnews quoted Ghani as saying.
Previous estimates had put the number of dead at 90. The president did not explain the sharp increase.
The bombing took place during Wednesday morning's rush hour, when a truck exploded in the diplomatic zone of central Kabul. The streets were packed with commuters as well as children heading to school. The blast shattered windows at the presidential palace, while Ghani was inside, The New York Times reports.”
