Pakistan: Misunderstanders of Islam bomb school, killing two and wounding 14, including seven children


Because they oppose women's education, you see. They think it is immoral. Murdering children in cold blood, as far as they're concerned, is not only not immoral, it is a holy and meritorious act, if it stops the greater immorality of women's education. "Bomb attack on school in Peshawar, two killed and 14 wounded, seven children," by Jibran Khan in AsiaNews, January 19 (thanks to C. Cantoni):



Peshawar (AsiaNews) - An attack by Islamic militants on a Pakistani school today caused two deaths and 14 wounded, including seven children, provoking the strong condemnation of the Diocese of Peshawar. Father Francis Sohail told AsiaNews: "This is a brutal act, innocent children have been targeted. These children were going to school, some of them were already inside the school. No religion can justify the killing of innocent children. These extremists are against education for women. They can not frighten us, we support women's education. Our society is heading towards darkness, education is a ray of hope. We urge the government to ensure that this ray of hope spreads across Pakistan".

The powerful bomb exploded this morning outside a school in the centre of Peshawar, in the crowded Notia Jadded neighbourhood. Two people were killed and another 14 injured. According to chief of rescue operations, Muhammad Ejaz Khan, it was "a remote-controlled bomb in a cart, which were used five kilograms of explosives." The victims, Azizur Rehman and another man, not yet identified, were passers-by.



Among the wounded there are seven children. The death toll could have been much higher if the bomb had exploded half an hour later, many students had not yet reached the school....
