HANGU: Three classrooms and the boundary wall of a government girls middle school was destroyed after a bomb planted by unidentified militants exploded in Togh Sarai, Hangu district on Tuesday.
SHO Saddar Zakeem Khan said a huge explosion was heard a little after midnight near Tango Adda.
“The girls school was razed to ground as most parts of the building were destroyed,” said Khan. About four kilogrammes of explosives were planted in a canister along the wall, said an official of the bomb disposal squad. This is the fourth school destroyed in the district.
The first school to be demolished by militants – a primary school for boys – was destroyed on June 21, 2011. On November 20 this year, a girls middle school was destroyed in Kotiki, while a boys middle school on the outskirts of the city was destroyed on November 27.
Despite claims of police officials to launch a search operation on the outskirts of Hangu, no action has yet been taken to nab the perpetrators.
