Unidentified men blow up three schools in Afghanistan
Kabul, Sept 4 (IBNS): Unidentified men blew up three schools with bomb in Afghanistan's southeastern Paktika province on Monday, media reports said.
The three schools are Hazrat Bilal high school, Jalal Bukhari and Khwajkhel schools in Sharana.
Abdul Hamid, the Hazrat Bilal high school principal, told Pajhwok Afghan News that the Taliban militants had two days ago warned them against attending schools.
He said a Taliban designated education director, along with a partner, was arrested by security forces two days back.
Hamid told the Afghanistan-based news agency that the Taliban told them not to attend classes until their education director was released. He said the blasts completely destroyed windows and others parts of the schools.
Juma Gul, a guard of the school, told Pajhwok that it was around 12:00pm when armed militants came to the school and first snatched their mobile phones and then blew up the school’s building.
