[Christianity Today UK] 9 Oct 2008--A Catholic-run girls’ school in Swat, North-West Frontier Province, was bombed on Tuesday by Pakistani Taliban.
The Convent Girls’ School in Sangota, Swat, was bombed by local Taliban, and the school building destroyed, according to the Catholic Church’s National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP).
No one was killed because the school, run by Sri Lankan Apostolic Carmelite Sisters, was closed at the time due to threats, and the sisters had vacated the convent.
In the past two years, more than 150 girls’ schools have been attacked in the North-West Frontier Province by Pakistani Taliban, the NCJP claims.
