The picture of a little girl bleeding from her face and looking in shock after her father was killed in a bomb planted by the Taliban on the roadside will go down as the most abiding memory of the cruelty unleashed by the Taliban across Afghanistan after the exit of the American and the NATO forces.

The unnamed five-year old girl was going to pharmacy with her father when the bomb was triggered and hit him.

The girl survived but received injuries on her face.

Ejaz Malik Jada who posted the video of this girl on the Twitter wrote, "It is difficult to see him. This is heart breaking. Blood, tears and uncertain future on his face. Her father was killed by a Taliban roadside bomb as he was on his way to a pharmacy.

The video has generated a lot of backlashes against the Taliban by from netizens.

Remember that similarly Danish Siddiqui of India, who went to Afghanistan on assignment, was killed by the Taliban and his body was dismembered after his death.
