The father of ​Fatemah Qaderyan, the captain of an all-female Afghan robotics team that visited the United States ​last month​,​ was killed in a Islamic State​-claimed attack on a mosque, according to a report on Thursday.

“For last 24 hours Fatemah is not eating and she’s just crying,” ​said ​her robotics-team coach, Ali Reza Mehrban, NBC News reported. “Her feelings are not good. She’s not feeling good. She’s not in good shape.”

​Mehrban said her father, Mohammad Asif Qaderyan, was wounded in the Herat attack and died later in the hospital.​

“Ever since I heard he was killed I haven’t been able to sleep,” he said.

Witnesses said the armed assailants walked into the mosque during evening prayers and opened fire on the worshipers ​​before detonating their suicide vests.

At least 37 people were killed and more than 60 were injured in Tuesday’s assault. ​

​Fourteen-year-old Fatemah was the captain of the six-member team that gained international notoriety after they were initially denied visas to travel to Robot Olympics for High School Students in Washington, DC, last month. ​

​The schoolgirls pleaded with President Trump to ​intervene and he did.

“We are so happy at the support from the Americans and Mr​.​ Trump,” Fatemah​ told Reuters last month.

​The team was awarded a silver medal and returned to Afghanistan where they were hailed as heroes.​

“You opened the door for others to follow and you presented a new image of Afghanistan to the world,”

Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani said at their return.

Ten days later, Fatehmah’s father was dead.​
