Militants torch school in Afghanistan
Afp, Kabul
Insurgents burned down a primary school in southeastern Afghanistan, police said yesterday, in the second such attack this year targeting the country's struggling education system.The primary school was set ablaze overnight in the Kharwar district of Logar province, the Afghan interior ministry, which controls the police, said in a statement. "The ministry condemns this unforgivable action of foreign mercenaries," it said, without referring to any particular country or group. Similar attacks in the past have always been blamed on the remnants of the Taliban regime. The Afghan government says the militants are supported by circles in neighbouring Pakistan.
