Taliban Homicide Bomber Attacks Funeral

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

A homicide bomber attacked a funeral in eastern Afghanistan killing at least 25 civilians and the son of a district governor.

The mourners were attending a funeral for an influential tribal elder in the border district of Dur Baba. The homicide bomber infiltrated the parade of mourners before detonating his device.

District Governor Hamesha Gul was injured along with 30 civilians.

Tribal elders and local intelligence officials recently led an offensive against Taliban insurgents in the region.

A witness told the BBC that the brother of the district governor before the attack recognized the bomber.

“Someone shouted there was a suicide attacker,” the witness said, “and then there was a stampede. When I woke up, I saw bodies and blood everywhere.”
