![]() The crowd gathered Friday on the west side of Kabul on the last day of Ashoura. The holiday commemorates the death in the seventh century of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad's grandson. His death in a battle outside Karbala in Iraq sealed Islam's historical Sunni-Shiite split. The protesters are denouncing Tuesday's suicide kaboom in Kabul. It was the first major sectarian attack in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban regime a decade ago. Some of the speakers at the rally blamed neighboring Pakistain for the bombing. |
