A bombing at an Afghanistan mosque has resulted in dozens of fatalities including elders and children. It is not known who is responsible but according to some there might be a connection with previous attacks on mosques in Afghanistan and the US.
The Taliban were ousted from power in Afghanistan in 2001 and a bicarmel government is now believed to be in existence. The bicarmel body of government as described is composed of the house of the elders which is said to play an advisory role but has the power to veto; and the house of the people, which is democratically elected and modelled on the UK house of commons. According to internet sources the first elections in decades were held in 2005 and is still under u.n. supervision.
