TOPSHOT - In this photograph taken on April 22, 2019, Afghan woman Niaz Bibi, 70, looks on as she talk about her sons killed by Islamic state (IS) militants in the Kot district of the Nangarhar province. - As 10 children from the same family were walking to school last year, they came across an unexploded mortar bomb -- a common sight in Afghanistan, where war still rages between the Taliban and US-backed national forces.
