Afghan Memorial for US Activist

BBC

A memorial ceremony has been held in Afghanistan for a US rights activist who raised millions of dollars for civilian victims of US military action.
Marla Ruzicka died earlier this month in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, after her vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.

She was well known in Baghdad and Kabul for her campaigning work.

Victims of mistaken US bombing raids in Afghanistan, as well as government officials, were among those attending Friday's memorial.
