| (Xinhua) -- Suspected militants blew up a girls school in a remote village in northwestern Pakistan, the News Network International (NNI) news agency reported Friday. Police said the bomb at the Girls Model School exploded Thursday night at a small village Sair in the city of Dir, some 200 km northwest of Peshawar, capital city of North West Frontier Province. The blast destroyed one room completely and caused damage to other parts of the building, according to NNI. Police said that unidentified people had distributed a letter a few days ago, asking the parents not to send daughters to schools as they were given English education. The guard of the school said that he was asleep when a huge explosion awakened him. The school was closed on Friday due to the blast. |
