9 people dead on a party

It was supposed to have been a festive occasion: a pre-wedding party, held under the stars on a warm night. But suspected insurgent gunmen burst in on the gathering in a village field in Afghanistan, fatally shooting nine men including the groom. It took place around 1 a.m. Thursday in a remote area of Nangarhar province, in Afganistan's east. A spokesman for the province said that the cousin of the groom was the chief administrator of the district. Mr Gul said the gunmen briefly held one of the men at the party, saying he was an "American spy". The attckers also set fire to a house and car in the neighbourhood, reports said.

My opinion
It is afwul to read this kind of news. It was supposed to be a great and an unforgettable wedding party but it turned out a bloody mess. I do not know why this happened. what was the reason to kill  innocent people and the groom. maybe he was in love and could not get the bride and was jealous and that is why he ruined the wedding party. I do not know. But when I was reading this news, I remembered the girl in The Netherlands who was also killed by their boyfriend because she refused him when he asked her to proposal.

  1. It comes as a shock to read an article like this. I recently read an article about a couple, just married, who were shot on their honeymoon and now this. How can the world be like this? All the happy moments seem to disappear by terrible occasions like this. All you read in newspapers is about murder, rape, abuse. We as people make a better world, so let's start!

  2. Normally the wedding is the most beautiful experience ever. But this one is very tragic. I just cannot believe why people do such a thing like this. How can they murder people for such a stupid reason and make the others so sad. I hope the bride will try to have a normal life after this.
