Afghan Girls Killed in Blast Are Buried
The families of 10 Afghan girls killed in a blast in eastern Afghanistan on Monday bury their young loved ones. The girls, aged between nine and 11-years-old, were collecting firewood in a remote region near the border with Pakistan when the explosion happened. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the blast, but some have suggested it could have been a bomb planted by insurgents or a landmine left over from decades of conflict. One resident heard the explosion.
