| [Dawn] Militants set fire to two government schools in Lower Dir's Maidan area, while security forces blew up two houses of a militant commander in Maidan's Gogarkoto area. The militants escaped from the scene after setting fire to schools in Maidan early Tuesday, local officials told DawnNews. Security forces cordoned off the area and started a search operation. More than 50 government schools have been torched by militants in the area since the operation began in April, 2009. |
