Afghanistan's Mazar-e-Sharif anniversary

August 8 marks the 23rd anniversary of the martyrdom of Iranian diplomats and a news correspondent in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan.

The incident took place after an attack on the Iranian consulate in Mazar-e-Sharif, in the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan during the Taliban and Northern Alliance battles of Mazar-e-Sharif. The group denied responsibility and blamed the attack on renegade forces.
