Girls' school set on fire in Quetta
Unidentified assailants set fire to furniture, records, a computer lab and other valuables at a private girls' school in Khilji Colony, Sariab Road in the early hours of Sunday, police said. Assailants entered the school and used petrol to start fires inside the rooms, setting ablaze the furniture, computers, and other valuables. They also broke doors of the classrooms and threw several computers into a water tank on the school premises. There was no watchman at the school.It is the first time that a girls' school has come under attack in the city. No group has so far claimed responsibility. Police said it was premature to speculate over who was behind the incident, adding the identity of the assailants could be ascertained only after an investigation was completed. A case has been registered at Sariab police station. Posted by: Fred 2008-08-04 |
