Afghan mother seeks justice after Pakistani bombing kills hundreds
UN and aid groups called for an independent probe after the blast, while relatives said they wanted international investigators to identify those responsible.
- On March 16, a bombing struck a drug treatment center in Kabul, killing at least 250 people according to a United Nations source, while Afghan officials reported 411 deaths.
- Samira Muhammadi, 43, is seeking justice for her 20-year-old son, Aref Khan, who died while receiving treatment at the Camp Omid rehabilitation center in eastern Kabul.
- Seventeen international humanitarian NGOs condemned the bombing, while Pakistan maintained it struck a military installation; Muhammadi stated, "There should be investigations on this... Like me, many mothers lost their sons."
- The United Nations mission in Afghanistan, UNAMA, is investigating the bombing, though Kenneth Roth, a visiting professor at Princeton University, noted prosecuting war crimes requires proving a pattern of misconduct.
- Afghanistan and Pakistan remain locked in an escalating conflict, while the Taliban government claims it has "shared the evidence" with international observers; the International Criminal Court retains jurisdiction over potential war crimes.
