February 21, 2010 - This is happening with such regularity, I grow weary with posting about it. But, radical Islamic terrorists have blown up more schools, apparently consumed with hatred toward the very idea of educating young children. Islamist extremists blew up two boys' schools in north-west Pakistan on Sunday, the latest in a wave of attacks targeting educational institutions. No one was hurt in the pre-dawn attacks on the two schools located in the Mohmand tribal region near the Afghan border. Local administration official Maqsood Khan blamed the attack on Taliban militants avenging ongoing military offensives against Islamist insurgents across the north-west. Another tribal administration official, Roshan Khan, said the bomb attacks had completely destroyed the two schools. Islamist militants opposed to co-education have destroyed hundreds of schools, mostly for girls, in north-west Pakistan in recent years. Click below for story.
