Militants Blow Up Two Girls’ Schools In Waziristan

Published on

Two schools for girls were hit by bomb explosions in North Waziristan, considerably damaging the buildings.

Militants attacked Government Girls Middle School and Girls Middle School in Mir Ali Tehsil of North Waziristan.

Government Girls Middle School is located in Mir Ali’s Hasukhel area while another Girls Middle School is located in Musaqi area, according to The Khorasan Diary. 

The schools were targeted last night and no loss of lives have been reported.

Pakistan has witnessed a resurgence of terrorism.

Earlier, a police officer in Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa opened fire at a girls’ school van, killing a six-year-old girl and injuring seven others.

The family of six-year-old Aisha has claimed that the cop had links with the Taliban.

According to witnesses, constable Alam Khan opened indiscriminate fire at a van and tried to reload his weapon when the magazine emptied to do more damage, negating police’s claim that he opened fire by mistake. While reloading his weapon, the police constable was grabbed by people, and was then arrested by the police under Sections 427, 320, 324 of the Pakistan Penal Code, Aaj News reported.

Aisha’s uncle also told the media outlet that the police officer had links with the Taliban.

Constable Alam Khan was suspended from duty once for not showing up for work. The administration of Sangota Public School, where the policeman was posted, had also requested him to be removed from duty a month ago because they felt he was not fit for the work.
