MARDAN: Militants detonated a high school for girls in Derai district of Katlang, on the outskirts of district Mardan, late Monday night.
Sources said the school’s status was recently upgraded from middle to high school and added that it was the only high school for girls in the area.
They said that the militants tied about 8-10 kilogrammes of explosives to the outer walls of the school which exploded with a bang at 30 minutes past midnight and panicked the residents.
Station House Officer (SHO) Katlang police station Sher Rehman told The Express Tribune that three among the total five rooms, built recently, collapsed where the remaining two were badly damaged and cannot be used any more.
The area is situated at a few miles from the Malakand Agency where militants, in an earlier operation called “Rah-e-Rast,” destroyed more than 420 schools including 300 schools for girls.

his latest attack again reminds us that we are dealing with a barbarously cruel group of criminals who have a no-holds barred approach to committing atrocities. They continue to prove that they will go to any lengths to destabilize the great nation of Pakistan. These terrorists are busy plotting and killing, when Muslims not just in Pakistan but around the world are joyously celebrating the sacred occasion of Eid. It is extremely sad to hear that Hanif Jadoon was attacked and killed right after leaving the Eid prayers. Unfortunately, this is not the first time; they’ve turned a day of celebration into a day of mourning for innocent families of Pakistan. Our condolences go to those who were killed and injured in this shameful act of terror. We cannot place enough emphasis on the need to eliminate this threat as soon as possible. We fully support Pakistan in its fight against terrorism and will continue to work side by side to eradicate terrorism from the region.

Very aptly said. These terrorists have not even spared innocent lives even on the holy day of Eid. Terrorism is a global problem and concerted efforts should be made in wiping it out.

why do you think Eid will be different for them? Eid is simply another day for these guys, their cause is the only thing they think about, they say they dont even care about their own families for the love of religion. didnt we see couple of days ago that they blow up a mosque and killed people in afghanistan? same things happend in paksitan.

Well i thought since they do all of this in the name of holy jihad, so they might respect the holy day of eid. I cant see the rationale
in killing innocent muslims on the day of eid and that too by fellow muslims. Maybe the brainwashing techniques used are very advanced.
