An Afghan YouTuber was killed during the terror attack in Kabul, her colleagues said. In her final video, she said goodbye to her subscribers.

• YouTuber Najma Sadeqi, 20, was killed in a terror attack in Kabul on August 27, her colleagues said.
• At least 169 Afghans and 13 US service members died in the suicide bombing.
• In Sadeqi's final video, she said goodbye and asked her viewers to pray for her, CNN reported.

Najma Sadeqi, a 20-year-old YouTuber and journalism student, died during a suicide bombing outside Kabul's international airport on Thursday, her colleagues told CNN.

At least 169 Afghans and 13 US service members died in the bombing, and 200 more were wounded. The Biden administration attributed the fatal explosion to the Islamic State's Afghanistan affiliate, ISIS-K. The organization claimed responsibility for the attacks on Thursday evening.

Sadeqi had recently begun working as a reporter with the YouTube news channel Afghan Insider (no affiliation with Insider). The channel has about 25 million views on its videos, which follow young people living in Afghanistan.

CNN spoke with two of Sadeqi's colleagues, Rohina Afshar and Khawja Samiullah Sediqi, who confirmed her death. They also said they feared for young people following their career path in the country. Afshar said she didn't have a job anymore and was too scared to leave her house in case she was recognized.

"I don't know how can we survive this situation," she said.

The videos on Sadeqi's channel are no longer available to view, but CNN reported that she recorded a video four days after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan where she said goodbye.

"Since we are not allowed to work and go out of our homes, we all had to record you a last video," she said. "And through this video say goodbye to you all."

Sadeqi said life in Kabul had become very difficult, and that she was scared to walk outside on the street. She asked her followers to pray for her.

"I wish it is a bad dream, I wish we can wake up one day," she said. "But I know that it is not possible." She added, "And it is a reality that we are finished."

Her colleague Sediqi told CNN that dozens of young, talented Afghan people had started working for YouTube channels in recent years "not only to make a living but to find a platform to prove themselves and the progress Afghans had made in the last two decades."

"But in the last couple of weeks, everything changed," he said. "We stopped producing new stuff, we are scared of being targeted, intimidated, or harmed."
