      Friday’s attack on foreign tourists was the first since the Taliban stormed back to power in Afghanistan in August 2021.

      Not bad odds, really.

          Bamiyan, one of the poorest regions in impoverished Afghanistan, is a popular destination for foreign tourists because it contains Buddhist monastic ensembles and sanctuaries, according to the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

          I could only guess and say that it’s not an insignificant amount if they’re calling it a popular destination.
