KABUL (Reuters) - Hours after the explosion that tore through a Shi'ite cultural centre in the Afghan capital Kabul on Thursday, desperate families were still searching for news, as burnt bodies were brought in and wards at the nearby Istiqlal hospital filled up.
The explosion that tore through a cramped basement conference room killed at least 41 people and wounded more than 80 and there were hours of confusion as victims were rushed to nearby hospitals.
