Children feared to be death after airstrike hits graduation

 Dozens of civilians and children are feared to be dead after government airstrikes hit a religious school graduation ceremony. The Afghan ministry says the airstrikes were targeted for Taliban members plotting to attack the military. Many families that lived near the region said they had seen dozens of fatalities in the aftermath of the bombing. A chef who had been working in the ceremony says he was preparing food for 2,000 people. Footage and photos released from the Taliban show dead and in injured children being buried or carried away from the rubble. The Taliban says none of its forces were present at the ceremony. A witness said those who were killed in the attack are unrecognizable which is hard to identify the bodies as victims or Taliban fighters.      A spokesperson for the Afghan ministry said the aerial footage showed Taliban gathered at the compound with vehicles and branding Pakistani and Taliban flags.  He also stated that 35 Taliban and 18 commanders were killed.  An official investigation was ordered by the Afghan Government as more disturbing reports form survivors come to light.
