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 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.
