WNU Editor: It looks like these ISIS attacks are becoming the new normal in Afghanistan.
So disappointing that someone's funeral is used for political bombing. I like it at the same time. It cannot happen to nicer people. You would think they would get along slightly better amongst themselves than with western governments. It was stupid to wish for it to be so.
