| Militants burnt a college and a police post in the Matta tehsil, while unidentified gunmen killed a local religious leader in Kabal. Around 100 armed men set on fire an abandoned police post and Fazle Haq College in the Matta tehsil of Swat district on Wednesday, locals said. The men started the fire with petrol, gutting the two sites, the locals said, adding that the fire damaged a nearby mosque. The assailants stayed at the site until the two buildings were burnt down, before fleeing the area. In a separate incident, police officials in the Kabal Police Station said that unidentified gunmen shot dead Jamiat Ahl-e-Sunnat Wal Jamaat Swat chief Maulvi Samiullah in his native Ningolai village late on Tuesday. A stray bullet also killed Ali Sher, 15, in the incident. |
