A Close-Up View of a Deadly Kabul Blast.
Worshippers were gathered for the Shiite festival of Ashura in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Tuesday, when a suicide bomber hit the packed streets near the Abul Fazal shrine on the riverbank in the capital's old city. Photographer Joel van Houdt was there taking pictures of the celebrations when the bomb went off. Afghan officials said at least 55 people, many of them children and women, were killed and more than 160 others wounded.
The blast occurred as a crowd in Kabul watched Hazara Afghans perform ritual flagellation as part of the observation of the Shiite holy day of Ashura.
