A short news video of the families of victims of a suicide bombing in Kabul.
On the evening of Jan. 1, 2016, 40-year-old Baseer Ahmad, the father of four young girls, was manning the security gate at the Le Jardin restaurant, one of the few establishments left in the city that catered to the dwindling population of foreigners.
It was approximately 9 p.m. Suddenly, without warning, a massive explosion erupted. Glass, twisted metal and ball
bearings ripped through walls, cars and human flesh. Le Jardin burst into flames and the front of the restaurant completely collapsed. The blast killed Ahmad instantly. Dozens more were wounded, many horrifically.
This short video shows the family members of the deceased, who are all too often forgotten in the midst of the statistics and news briefs that come out of Afghanistan.
