“It was 4 hours in the night when I heard a noise and some five or more bombs exploded. The bombs fell right on our house.”

“I was under the rubble themselves.  People pulled me out.  I was unconscious. They took me to the hospital in Tarin Kowt.  Ten days I stayed there when I went to Kandahar for more specialized care.”

“There they told me that almost all my relatives were killed.”

Jan Mohammed Sultan lost his wife, six of his nine sons, two of his three daughters, a host of grandchildren, nieces and nephews and in-laws as his sister.

“The government says that the dead were Taliban.”

“It is not allowed to show the faces of women. But my sons showed the relatives to government representatives to prove that the Taliban were not. Also, they let the children see.  

“Why you threw bombs on them?” they asked.
