Private girls school blown up in North Waziristan
NORTH WAZIRISTAN: A private girls’ school was blown up by unidentified militants in Tehsil Shewa of North Waziristan district on Wednesday night, police sources said.
They said the militants first tortured the school watchman and later blew up two rooms of the school. There was, however, no loss of life in the explosion.
Similar attacks took place in May of last year when two government schools for girls in Mirali were blown up. No loss of life was reported in the incidents.
Around 500 girls were enrolled in the two schools — Government Girls Middle School, Noor Jannat and Government Girls Middle School, Yunus Kot — which were targeted by the attackers around midnight.
Local sources said that it was the only private girls’ school in the area and its administration had received multiple threat letters in the past.
