Arrr mateys! The scurvy dogs be sayin' that them suspected landlubbers be blowin' up a lassie's school in a place where them Taliban scallywags used to roam. The blasted attack happened on a fine Friday, shiver me timbers!
In the language of a 17th century pirate, ye scurvy dogs be bombin' a lass's school in a former Pakistani Taliban stronghold, destroyin' the structure, arrr, police said Friday, but thankfully, no one was hurt in the overnight attack.The attack happened in South Waziristan, a district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Arrr, 'twas the second one this month after another school was badly damaged in the region, aye, local police official Safdar Khan said.Nobody immediately claimed responsibility, but the suspicion be likely to fall on Islamic militants and specifically the Pakistani Taliban, who be targetin' girl's schools, sayin' that women should not be educated, arrr.Until years ago, Pakistan's northwest witnessed multiple attacks on girl's schools, especially in the Swat Valley where the Pakistani Taliban long controlled the former tribal regions, aye.In 2012, them scallywags attacked Malala Yousafzai, a teenage student and advocate for female education. She later went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize, arrr.The Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP, were evicted from Swat and other regions in recent years. The TTP be a separate group but a close ally of the Afghan Taliban, who seized power over Afghanistan in 2021. The Taliban takeover in neighboring Afghanistan has emboldened the Pakistani Taliban, arrr!
