Girls schools on fire, Swat valley

Imran Shah August 04, 2008

Peshawar: 5 girls schools in Swat valley were attacked by the insurgents.

Swat valley, a remote part of N.W.F.P, for more than 2 years, under the influence of taliban insurgents, and most of the girls schools have been demolished.

Yesterday, 5 more girls’ schools were targeted by these insurgents in the areas of Khwazakhela, Minglawar & some other parts of Swat valley.

These are the menaces, to the female literacy ratio in the area, which is unluckily very low.

This valley had been a major tourist destination, to the local & foreign tourists, but irony of the fate, it has been under insurgency & military operation for more than 2 years.
