School set afire in Waziristan
2005-06-11
LADAH: Unidentified people burned a government school in South Waziristan's Sarwakai sub-division late on Thursday in a series of attacks on schools in Mehsud-dominated areas. No casualties were reported. The porch of the Government Communal Primary School in Barwand Raghzai in Sarwakai sub-division was completely destroyed in the fire while blackboards, carpets and other equipment were also reduced to ashes, a schoolteacher told Daily Times on Friday. "You cannot say the attackers are those who are targeting government and private schools in Waziristan," the teacher said.
Then who can you say they are?

#2  I don't no that I would insure any Pakistani structure that was built from combustible materials. There can't be a whole lot of them left in the country.

#1  So they accidentally set the school on fire, resulting in its destruction -- they were really aiming for the McDonald's two doors down?
