Isis claims responsibility for Kabul bomb attack on Hazara protesters

At least 80 dead and more than 230 wounded after attack on demonstration by minority group, which makes up 9% of population

At least 80 people have been killed and hundreds injured after two suicide bombers struck a peaceful protest in Kabul by a Shia minority group.

Responsibility for the attack, which appears to have targeted a demonstration by the Hazara minority, was claimed by Islamic State via the group’s news agency, Amaq. If true, it would mark the first attack by Isis in Kabul, and its largest ever in Afghanistan.

It really bothers me that this was not covered like the other recent extreme violences. My husband told me about it, and then I searched a bit before finding information. Hardly saw much afterwards. These 80 are human beings. Nine percent .. unreal.

I fear the MSM are becoming desensitized to the common happenings.

It's ironic what they overexpose and what they don't cover.
