On 2011, I was sitting with my friends. Suddenly, a guy came. He was wearing a big coat, and it was huge. I will never forget the fear in his eyes, and he started to yell "Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!" And he exploded. And he killed 12 that day, seven of them my friends. He was 17. His father and brother was killed by the American troops. And he was seeking revenge.
