State-run school blown up in northwestern Pakistan
[Iran Press TV]  Unidentified snuffies have blown up a state-run school in Pakistain's northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... Province, Press TV reports. The incident took place on Sunday, at a Boys' school located in Swabi's Kalu Khan area. The building was vacant at the time of the attack. Although the building was partially damaged, no reports of any deaths were released. Another bomb was found and defused after the local officials and a bomb disposal squad went to the school. Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistain (TTP) snuffies are the main suspects of such incidents. Repeated attacks on schools in the area have put the academic future of students at risk as thousands of students have been deprived of education. The TTP has warned Pak parents in the region against sending their children, specially their daughters, to school, describing education as "unnecessary" or "harmful" for girls.
