 A grenade attack on Friday shook up Da Khwendo Kor, or sisters’ home – an education centre run by a civil society organisation in Landikotal, Khyber Agency – but no one was hurt, the centre’s administration said on Saturday. “Apparently, religious extremists were behind the attack,” Mariam Bibi, the centre’s director, told Daily Times.

“Fortunately, there was no one in the centre during the time of attack. Only the building is damaged,” she said. Landikotal’s political agent, Riaz Mehsud, when contacted, also confirmed that the education centre had been attacked. This was the second attack in less than two months on the centre, that teaches development skills to tribal men and women. Last month, a British civil society organisation vehicle was blown up in Darra Adamkhel, 25 miles south of the provincial capital. |
