The bodies of several victims of last week`s deadly shooting in western Afghanistan were buried on Tuesday, as mourners in Herat expressed anger over the attack and frustration over restrictions on their gatherings.

At least eight victims of the Friday assault in Injil district were laid to rest around 10 a.m. on Tuesday, April 14, according to local sources. Earlier plans to hold funeral prayers at a central mosque and carry the bodies through the city were altered after Taliban intervened, the sources said.

Residents had intended to gather at the Sadeqiya Mosque in Herat city before transporting the bodies on foot to a nearby shrine known as Sultan Agha. But local Taliban officials warned community leaders that they could not guarantee security for a large procession and urged that the funeral and burial take place at the shrine instead.

As a result, the ceremony was held in a more restricted form.

Even so, some mourners carried the coffins and later took to the streets, chanting slogans including "death to terrorism" and "Labbaik Ya Hussein," reflecting both grief and anger over the killings.

Taliban officials did not attend the funerals, and speeches were largely absent, with only brief remarks by relatives of the victims. "We are not only burying our loved ones, but a part of our hearts," said one family member, describing the emotional toll of the attack.

Relatives said at least a dozen wounded victims remain hospitalized, with one reported to be in critical condition. Earlier accounts from medical sources had indicated that several of the injured were in serious condition.

The attack, which took place Friday near a shrine, killed at least 13 civilians, according to local sources. Many of the victims were reported to be members of the Shiite community.

Some victims, including a local elder and two of his sons, had been buried a day earlier in the village where the shooting occurred.

Mourners who gathered after the burials voiced concern about the possibility of further attacks and called for greater protection.

Taliban have not provided detailed information about the perpetrators or motive behind the shooting, and no group has claimed responsibility.

The incident has heightened concerns about the safety of civilians and religious minorities in Afghanistan, where similar attacks have periodically targeted gatherings and places of worship.
