Eid al-Fitr: 14 die when bomb explodes at cemetery
Fourteen women and children were killed Thursday when a bomb went off as they gathered at a cemetery in Afghanistan to honor a deceased family member, eye witness said.
The killing took place on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the the highest holiday of Ramadan on the Islamic calendar.
Afghan Police are currently investigating the case. They believe the killing was not terror-related but an act of personal violence.
The explosive, which had been planted in the graveyard, wounded four more people, said spokesman for the governor of eastern Nangarhar province.
