Nowbahar and Saboor were key participants in the September 18,
2012 suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device(SVBIED) attack against a bus carrying Kabul International Airport foreign employees, in which over a dozen people were killed.
Saboor is responsible for the May 16,
2013 suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device(SVBIED) attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, which destroyed a U.S. armored SUV, killing two soldiers and four U.S. civilian contractors, eight Afghans- including two children- and wounded at least 37 others.
I dumped that plot around a year later because it was too depressing, and then the year after, I decided to have a second go at the story- from
scratch- and started the first chapter of Puu, which has Saboor and Jameel as adult roommates/housemates rather than school friends.
