By Khan Mohammad, AFP – “About 50 people were killed and 60 others wounded when a suicide blast ripped through crowds at a volleyball game in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, the deadliest attack in the country since 2011.

The explosion struck during a tournament between three local teams in Paktika province, a volatile region bordering Pakistan, with many children among the dead and injured.

‘The suicide attacker was on a motorcycle, he detonated himself in the middle of a volleyball match,’ Attaullah Fazli, deputy governor of Paktika, told AFP.

‘A lot of people including some provincial officials and the police chief were there. About 50 people have been killed, and 60 injured, a lot of them seriously.'” Read more.

Flashback: ISIS Caliphate Bans Sports, Social Studies And Math For Syrian Children – “After gaining control over Syria, the Islamic State terrorist group is now prohibiting thousands of children in the country from learning mathematics or social studies based on their newly released diktats. According to a report from CNN, Syrian children will no longer have the chance to learn about democracy and election as well as sports, and will instead be taught the radical teachings of the jihadists. Posters and fliers posted on street poles and billboards indicate the new educational demands and emphasize that anyone who disobeys ‘will be punished.’” Read more.
