Afghan mother seeks justice after Pakistani bombing kills hundreds

A Pakitani mother, Samira Muhammadi hopes an international investigation can "extinguish" her pain after a bombing killed her son and hundreds of other Afghans in the capital Kabul last month.



The Mar 16 attack hit a drug treatment centre and killed 411 people, according to Afghan officials.



A United Nations source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they had verified at least 250 killed, with more still missing.



"There should be investigations on this ... Like me, many mothers lost their sons, many women lost their husbands and many sisters lost their brothers," Muhammadi, 43, said at her home, where she scrolled through photos of her eldest son.



Afghanistan and Pakistan have been locked in an escalating conflict over claims from Islamabad that Kabul is harbouring militants responsible for cross-border attacks, which the Taliban government denies.
