Nothing could have preparedMohammad Zarar for the lead story on Afghanistan's 10 p.m. television news Saturday.
The Sufi Muslim meetinghouse in Kabul that the 46-year-old science teacher attended for more than a decade was attacked by gunmen. Officials said six people were killed, but members of the Sufi order said Sunday that 11 had died, including the local leader of the order and his son.
It sent a shock throughmy whole system, Zarar said.
Mosques have been attacked before in Afghanistans long-running conflict, but this was the first time in memory that a Sufi khanqah, or spiritual center, was the target of deadly violence. The ancient Sufi order, which has millions of followers in Afghanistan and across South Asia, is revered among mainstream Muslims for its mystical practices and nonviolent teachings.
Members of the order said the victims, and another man who was injured, were in the middle of their evening prayers when the gunmen opened fire.
No group has claimed responsibility for the killings, but Zarar said he is certain it was a coordinated attack. Police officials say they have detained five suspects, but details of the attack remain sketchy.
Only the enemies of Islam could attack a place where people come together in the name of God, Zarar said.
Zarar and others who spent years studying Islamic philosophy at the Bahadur Agha center were especially disturbed by reports that the firearms were equipped with silencers.
No ordinary person has access to silencers, Zarar said.
Afghanistan is regarded as a birthplace of Sufism, and some of the orders most important figures originated here. Rumi, a 13th century theologian and poet, is believed to have been born in the northern city of Balkh.

Afghanistan's ancient Sufi order shocked by deadly attack
KABUL, Afghanistan Inmates at a prison in northern Afghanistan held at least five people hostage Sunday after a riot wounded five police officers and 10 inmates, an Afghan security official said.
The officers came under attack while they conducted a search for cellphones, knives and other contraband inside the prison, said Gen. Faqir Mohammad Jawzjani, the police chief of northern Jawzjan province.
He said that four police officers and a prosecutor had been taken hostage by the prisoners. Members of the local government were trying to negotiate an end to the crisis, he said.
The prison complex, located in Shebirghan, the provincial capital, holds some 800 inmates in separate male and female lockups. Its prisoners are from both Jawzjan and neighboring Sari Pul province.
Meanwhile in eastern Nangarhar province, heavy rain caused the roof to collapse on a home in Dare Noor district, killing at least 10 members of a single family, said Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, the provincial governor's spokesman. Most houses in remote regions of Afghanistan are made of mud bricks, which weaken during heavy rain and snow every winter.
Most of the country's 34 provinces have been affected by severe weather in recent weeks, with almost 200 people killed in a massive avalanche in northeastern Panjshir province alone.
