KABUL, Afghanistan — A single-file line of schoolchildren walked past a military checkpoint Sunday as a bomb-loaded truck veered toward them and exploded, ending the lives of 14 young Afghans.
Afghan officials said the kids were attending a final day of class for the year to find out whether they would move up to the next grade. Dr. Abdul Rahman, a doctor at a hospital near the blast, said the children were ages 8 to 10.
The U.S. military said the attack in the eastern province of Khost killed 16 people: 14 children, an Afghan soldier and another person — likely a private security guard that Afghan officials reported killed. The Associated Press
