Another report that was released by the Guardian online states the cause for the crash of flight U49525 is yet unknown. The report does go on to say that the black box from the cockpit has now been recovered.  A black box on aircraft is responsible for recording all of the happenings in the cockpit, and investigators should be able to figure out exactly what went wrong with the flight craft from all of the data that the box is able to give.

Woman murdered for accusations made that she burned the Quran

According to a report that was released on Time.com, protestors have taken up against the lynching of a woman in Afghanistan.

The report states that a 27-year-old woman by the name of Farkhunda was run over by a car and then her body was set on fire and dumped in the Kabul River in Afghanistan on Thursday, March 19. The report goes on to state that Farkhunda was protesting against the selling of amulets to women at shrines.

The protest became violent when a nearby crowd heard the accusations made against Farkhunda, which accused her of burning the Quran. When the nearby crowd overheard this news they decided to take matters into their own hands and that is when the attack began. The attack left the 27 year old woman dead, and officials report that Farkhunda had not in fact burned the Quran, the report stated.

It also stated that people are beginning to take to the streets and call for justice. The report states that protestors have painted their faces red and demanded that the people who murdered Farkhunda and then burned her body and dumped it in the river be brought to justice for their violent crimes against the innocent woman.
