All but 7 or 8 of the 58 killed in Saturday's bombings in Kabul's Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood were schoolgirls going home after finishing their studies and on Sunday the anger was unmistakable, as was the fear of further attacks.

"They were our family, our friends. More importantly, they were our blood, our people," one woman told NBC News at the scene of the explosions, where she had gathered after funerals held in line with Islamic law, which calls for burials to take place as soon as possible. She said she did not want to give her name because of fear of reprisals.
