"They killed everyone, no one is left alive," Apar Singh succinctly sums up the horrific attack carried out by a lone terrorist, believed to belong to Pakistan-based Haqqani group, on a prominent Sikh gurdwara here that killed at least 25 worshippers.
The over two dozen worshippers were killed and eight others injured when a heavily armed suicide bomber stormed a prominent gurdwara on Wednesday in the heart of Afghanistan's capital of Kabul, in one of the deadliest attacks on the minority Sikh community in the strife-torn country.
Some of the Afghan Sikhs, who lost their entire family members in the attack, are wondering what "sin" they have committed to deserve such a fate, TOLOnews reported.
Many of the injured from Thursday's attack were rushed to nearby hospitals by security and by local authorities.
A number of families of the victims of the attack described the attack as a clear crime "against humanity," the report said.
Recalling the brutality, one man, who lost seven members of his family in the attack, says a suicide bomber fired at a man, woman and a child and "showed no mercy to anyone."
Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani condemned the attack, saying: "The attack on the religious sites shows the extreme weakness of the enemy, religious sites should not be vulnerable to attacks and violence."
Ghani's rival Abdullah Abdullah tweeted: "The atrocity against this peaceful community is unconscionable. Afghanistan is a rich an colorful multicultural country. Evildoers will fail to destroy it. We will spare no effort to bring the culprits to justice."
