inothernews: Agence France-Presse photojournalist Massoud Hossaini, who took the above photo at the scene of a deadly suicide bombing in Kabul on Tuesday, was also wounded in the attack.  Hossaini continued to shoot, weeping as he captured some of the most iconic and tragic photos ever, documenting the horrors of sectarian violence in Afghanistan.  President Hamid Karzai visited with survivors of the bombing; a Pakistani extremist group claimed responsibilty for the attack, which killed at least 63 people — including babies and children — and wounded 200. (Photo: Massoud Hossaini / AFP-Getty via the National Post) I just can’t stop looking at that little child in the green sweater.  My youngest daughter is about that age.  This image is at the same time soul-crushing and infuriating to the deepest level.   I fear that this is what we’re leaving Afganistan to.
