Talib terrorists burn down another Afghan school
2005-08-26
Terrorists Insurgents torched a primary school for girls and boys in Afghanistan, in the latest attack on educational institutions in the conservative Islamic country, officials said on Thursday. The school in the Alingar district of the eastern province of Laghman, where hundreds of youngsters studied, was set ablaze Wednesday night by unidentified armed men, police spokesman Zalmay Khan told AFP. “The school was set ablaze and taking advantage of the night’s darkness the perpetrators managed to run away flee,” Khan said, without pinning the blame on any one group.

#6  Talib is student, and Taliban means students. In name only. More like brainwashees, which is the more rigorous translation. Bloody a$$hats, burning down a primary school. Don't expect reconstruction funds from CAIR.

#3  Hell, Steve, you know students - they almost universally *hate* school. Why wouldn't they bear a grudge?
