On Tuesday, November 6, 2007, Pul-e-Khumri, the capital of Baghlan province, witnessed one of the deadliest suicide attacks in Afghanistan’s history. The assault occurred during the visit of a parliamentary economic delegation led by Sayed Mustafa Kazemi, Chairman of the National Economic Commission, who had arrived to inaugurate the newly reconstructed Baghlan Industrial enterprise.
The attack claimed the lives and wounded approximately 200 Afghan citizens. Among the victims were 57 students from the “Martyrs of Baghlan Industrial High School” and six members of the National Economic Commission. This tragic event stands as a stark reminder of the profound human cost of violence and the vulnerability of those striving to rebuild and serve their nation.
