In Kabul, Afghanistan 8 suicide bombers blew themselves up on Monday, February 28th in front of an Afghan government building
The suicide bombing killed a total of 40 people, and scores of others were wounded
Many citizens had gathered in front of the government building that day to receive their government identification cards, the bombers were among them
In northern Afghanistan there are known hideout for the Taliban, and violence has been on the rise recently
NATO has sent more troops to northern Afghanistan who are pushing for the trouble areas to become militant-held
This particular bombing was a form of retaliation against the Afghan government in response of the mistreatment of afghan prisoners under their hands
The suicide bombing occurred in Imam Sahib of Kunduz, a northern province of Afghanistan, where security has been going downhill for the past few months
Also on Monday, a Canadian NATO services member was killed in a roadside bombing- the bomber was also from Kunduz
After the suicide bombing, border security has been increased and several active suicide bombers have been caught and detained by Afghan forces before they could get passed the Taliban Tribal Belt
Just days after the suicide bombing, video footage aired on news stations on several continents. This outraged the Afghans
