Attack at Wedding – level 1

26-08-2019 07:00

Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan. On Saturday the 18th, there is a wedding. There are more than 1,000 people at this wedding.

A man comes to the wedding with a big gun. He starts shooting. He also wears an explosive vest. His vest explodes. Sixty-three people die. Many of them are children. More than 180 people are injured.

ISIS says that it carried out the attack. It did this because the people are Shiite Islam followers.

Difficult words: explosive vest (vest with bombs inside it), carried out (past of “carry out” – do), did (past of “do”).
