Girls school blown up in Nowshera

PESHAWAR: Two bombs went off in a government-run primary school for girls in the Barakhel area of Mera Risalpur, District Nowshera, in the early hours of Tuesday, a police official said.

An official of the Risalpur police station stated that three classrooms and the main gate, along with the boundary wall of the school, were completely destroyed as a result of the explosion.

Station House Officer (SHO) Muhammad Ishaq, said, “Unidentified persons barged into the school and planted two bombs, each weighing three kilograms, on the outer walls of the classrooms and fled. The explosions occurred when the watchman left his post and went to offer his morning prayers.”

He added that an FIR has not been registered so far.

The Executive District Officer Nowshera, Hasanat Gul said “The number of schools destroyed by anti-literacy militants in the district have reached 16, of which seven were schools for girls and nine were for boys. These people [extremists] are not destroying the schools they are destroying the future of this nation,” he stated.

Hasanat Gul added that it is indeed the duty of the watchman to guard the school, but it is not possible for one man alone to stop extremists from the destruction of educational institutes.

Bus attack: 7 killed, 3 injured in Shaheed Benazirabad

SHAHEED BENAZIRABAD: At least seven people were killed and three were injured as unknown assailants opened fire inside a bus on Friday. The bus was on its way from Karachi to Swabi in Khyber- Pakhtunkhwa.

Around 50 passengers were on board when the bus came under attack on National Highway at Rinn Shakh, near Qazi Ahmed Taluka of Shaheed Benazirabad district.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Sardar Khan Chandio said that the Sindhu Desh Liberation Army had claimed responsibility for the attack.

One body was shifted to Peoples Medical College Hospital in Shaheed Benazirabad district, while the remaining six were moved to Taluka Hospital, Qazi Ahmed.

The second driver of the bus, Lal Khan, told the media that a passenger had gotten on the bus from Sakrand. He had asked the driver to pull over at Rinn Shakh where his brother was waiting to get on the bus.

“When the bus stopped, four armed men got on the bus and opened fire and later fled on two motorbikes,” Khan said.

Five persons died on the spot, while two passed away at the hospital.

The deceased were identified as Haji Abdul Ghaffar Pathan (driver), Shahzad Hassan and Muhammad Makrab from Attock, Sameeullah Khan from Mianwali, Gulreb Khan from Swabi, Abdul Majeed and Arsalan Majeed from Taxila.

One deceased could not be identified, while Qair, Tahir Ali and Ameer Ali were among the injured.

According to eyewitnesses, the attackers raised slogans that they had taken revenge for an attack on the Awami Tehreek rally in Karachi.

Other eyewitnesses quoted that the assailants had said that the attack was revenge for the murder of Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM) leader Muzaffar Bhutto, whose body was found from Hyderabad after 15 months of his disappearance.

However, the bus cleaner, Nadeem Khan, said the attackers did not discriminate on if the victims were Sindhis or non-Sindhis. “They didn’t ask about anyone’s ethnicity. They climbed up and opened fire and fled while raising slogans.”

Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Police Hyderabad Sanaullah Abbassi, who reached the site of the attack, told the media that at least 25 bullet shells were seen around the bus.

“The attackers fired inside and from outside the bus.”

The DIG said the police could not say whether automatic weapons were used in the incident as the shells were still being collected.

The passengers who escaped the attack were shifted to a safe place, which the police authorities declined to reveal.

Rocket attacks kill two injure 20 in Quetta | DAWN.COM

QUETTA: Two people were killed and at least 20 others injured on Saturday amid rocket attacks in different parts of the violence-hit provincial capital of Balochistan, DawnNews reported.

According to police, at least two rockets were fired from Quetta’s adjoining areas. The first rocket landed at a busy market killing a 17-year-old boy and wounded 17 others, police said. One of the injured died later in hospital.

“A boy was killed on the spot and one of the wounded, a man, died at hospital,” senior police official Mohammad Zubair told AFP.

Meanwhile the second rocket was dropped on a house in Basti Panchayat near Kasi Road. Three houses were destroyed as a result and at least 3 people sustained injuries as well.

Injured were taken to a nearby hospital.

Zubair said nobody had immediately claimed responsibility for firing the rockets but in the past separatists have carried out similar attacks.

Police and Frontier Constabulary (FC) officials cordoned off the sites and initiated an inquiry into the incidents.

Moreover, a student was killed while five people including Principal of Kharan Public School received bullet shots when armed men opened fire at them earlier on Saturday, police said.

“Unidentified gunmen riding bikes targeted the vehicle of local private school principal Muzafar Jamali in Kharan district as a result one student Obaidullah sitting inside the vehicle died on the spot while five people including the principal sustained injuries and were shifted to a hospital.

The assailants managed to escape.

Due to their critical situation, doctors referred the injured to hospitals in Quetta.

Police registered a case and started investigation.

Quetta blast kills three, injures six: police | DAWN.COM

QUETTA: A remote-controlled bomb targeting a police van killed three passers-by and wounded six other people in Pakistan’s troubled southwest on Sunday, police said.

The explosive device was planted underneath a donkey cart on the outskirts of Quetta, the capital of the oil-and-gas-rich Balochistan province, which borders Iran and Afghanistan.

“The bomb targeting a police van exploded seconds after it passed by the cart, killing three passers-by and wounding six others including a policeman,”local police official Sikandar Tareen told AFP.

Another local police official, Saleem Shawani, confirmed the incident and casualties. There was no claim of responsibility, but Balochistan suffers from militancy, sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia Muslims and a separatist insurgency.

Gunmen riding a motorcycle shot dead the chief warden of the district prison on May 19.

Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claimed responsibility and said “the slain warden was a cruel person and used to subject our imprisoned leaders and workers to torture”.

Hundreds of civilians have been killed since Baloch rebels rose up in 2004 against the federal Pakistani government, demanding political autonomy and a greater share of profits from the resources in the region.

Its so weird.. An attack by American drones that kills a few terrorists gets so much angry responses from Pakistani members.. On the other hand, a terrorist strike that kills civilians and policemen has zero takers ... Looks like Pakistani members here do not mind terror strikes as long as they are indigenous...
