At least 57 people were killed and over 100 have been injured after a suicide bombing targeting a voting center in Kabul, Afghanistan. According to AP reports, the explosion could be felt all the way across the city and shattered windows miles away. Most of the victims of the attack were waiting in line for ID cards in order to vote in the October elections. Voter turnout has already been low in Afghanistan because of previous threats of attacks on election centers and this most recent attack may delay the upcoming election.
