Attack on schools

Author: Daily Times

Sir: 12 schools were set on fire overnight, and half of them were girls’ only. No one has claimed responsibility for attacks. However, the Taliban militants have attacked hundreds of schools in north western Pakistan in the past and the girls schools are often attacked the most. In December 2011, at least two girls’ schools were partially damaged in low intensity explosion in Chilas. Finally, it is requested to the Government to give strong security for educational institutions because terrorists keep attacking them.
