| More on the Girls School Attack Near US Yemen Embassy |
| 2008-03-24 |
| Target really was the girls school, not mortars that missed the US embassy. Meanwhile, down in Yemen, a girls school was attacked. Three mortar shells were fired at it, and men on motorcycles threw three grenades into the courtyard of the school. This wounded 17 of the students. Previously, Islamic conservatives, believed to be al Qaeda, had attacked the principal of the school. Islamic conservatives consider education of women, which is often funded by foreign charities, un-Islamic and against the law of God. |
