Families of Kabul car bombing victims call on govt for aids

A poor family that lost three members in recent Kabul car bombing called on National Unity Government for aids.

A large car bomb rocked downtown on a busy road near Kabul’s Macroyan 4, a Soviet-built housing project not far from the U.S. embassy on Saturday afternoon; killing 12 and wounding more than 60 others.

The father of the family, Muhammad Aslam claims that he has small children and without aids and assistance does not have the ability to care for them.

Muhammad Aslam, resident of Logar province lost his pregnant wife, his mother and a child on Saturday’s suicide attack in Kabul.

“How can I take care of these children alone? I demand government to pay serious attention to families of victims,” Aslam said.

5 children of this family now suffer from the absence of their mother and criticized opposition’s suicide attacks.

“We lost our mother and life become so difficult for us,” Nasima said.

Aslam’s brother-in law who lost his aging mother in Kabul’s suicide attack has a nerve problem; he sometimes laughs and sometimes cries.

In addition, 67 people injured in Saturday’s attack; seven of them were women and five were children.

The car bombing target was a foreign forces convoy which reportedly occurred during afternoon rush hour as city workers and government officials made their way home.
