Some unidentified terrorists torched a girls' middle school in the Razmak tehsil of North Waziristan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan destroying furniture, computers and books, police said on Wednesday
However, only the school door was burnt in the Ganda-e-Yasin area and a message was seen on the wall as 'GB-Atank'. No First information report (FIR) was registered as the Police claimed it to be only a mischievous act and terrorism.
A girls' school in Gilgit-Baltistan's Diamer district was torched early on Tuesday. According to Dawn newspaper, local officials have held "terrorists" responsible for this reprehensible act and have promised to rebuild the school along with providing security to educational institutions.
So far, no group has claimed the responsibility. Islamists, no matter which sect they belong to, are extremely opposed to giving girls' access to education in Gilgit Baltistan.
