[Transcript] At least 80 people died and more than 230 were hurt in Afghanistan (this is the sign for the country) when three suicide bombers from ISIS/Daesh detonated their explosive during a protest. There was an ethnic group of people, the Hazaras, who rallied because they wanted to have electricity in their home area, but sadly many died when the explosions occurred. This protest had many young men and women, students, and children. It is the first time ISIS/Daesh attacked Kabul.

Yesterday's shooting in Munich -- 9 people died, 7 of them were teenagers, 3 of them 14-year olds. Very sad. The gunman was a 18-year old high school student, a German-Iranian dual citizen. His family moved to Germany several years ago. It looks like he was self-motivated, was interested in mass shootings, and had mental health issues. It seems like the gunman hacked into another person's Facebook page to say that (she) will buy free McDonalds meals, luring people to the restaurant, and seems to have targeted foreigners. The victims -- three were from Turkey, three were from Kosovo, and one was Greek. He used a Glock pistol to shoot at people at the McDonalds and the area -- and later killed himself. He had more than 300 bullets in his backpack. Very sad what happened.

There are several other major news happening this weekend - some political news -- and I'll cover them on Monday.
