Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’oon.
A family friend’s son. My former teacher’s son. My sister’s friend’s brother. I didn’t know him. I just remember him as a very small child. And now, he’s dead. My mum told me the news over IM a few minutes ago and it didn’t hit me until now.
Minhaj was on his was to Wardak where a bomb was planted targeting him. His body has blown to bits and they cannot find anything except for his shirt and some tattered ID. He was young, about 20 years old, perhaps even younger.
I sat looking at the computer screen feeling numb but at the same time filled with momentous hatred and anger towards the people who had carried this out. How could they take a life? Who gave them this right?
A part of me wishes that it’s not him. What could he possibly have done? I can only imagine the state his family is in. But so what if it’s not him, it’s still a young boy killed. Someone’s child. Someone’s brother. Someone’s cousin. Someone’s friend. I hope a day comes when we can claim victory over these terrorists.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.
When you say he was the target of this senseless bombing. Why was he the target? He was only 21 yrs old. Was there anyone else with him?

@ Anonymous: How do you know he was 21 years old? Do you perhaps have more knowledge on the subject than this blogpost serves?
@ Blogpost: While I can wholeheartedly sympathise with the happenings you speak of, how safe do you feel putting this information out there, on cyberspace?
