Taliban militants blew up a girls' school in Khyber district on Tuesday, the third such attack in the tribal region bordering Afghanistan so far this month, officials said. An intelligence official in the area said Taliban attacked the government-run school overnight when no one was at the property.
"The girls' middle school was badly damaged because of the explosion, now the school building is almost out of use. The classrooms, desks and chairs were also damaged," Farooq Khan, a local administrative official told AFP. The incident took place at Yousaf Kely village near Bara town, around 20 kilometres (13 miles) south of Peshawar.
