(Xinhua) -- Suspected faceless myrmidons blown a girls school in a Pak tribal region in their anti-government campaign, officials said Monday.| It's only in Afghanistan that the jihadis feel the need to back off on girls' schools for the moment. |
No one was hurt as the school was closed at the time of the blast.
No group grabbed credit and the officials blamed the faceless myrmidons for the attack. Talibs have grabbed credit for attacks on schools in the past.
Officials said that boundary wall and three rooms of the schools were destroyed.
The faceless myrmidons have destroyed some 40 schools, government offices and health centers in their fight against government in recent years.
Most of the dynamited schools have not yet been rebuilt, depriving a large number of students of education.
Several faceless myrmidons group, including Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain, are active in Khyber agency, bordering Afghanistan.
Militants regularly attack tankers and trucks, carrying oil and other supplies, for the NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Tribesmen complain that the government has not taken steps for the protection of the remaining schools.
The security forces have carried out two major operations against the faceless myrmidons in Khyber agency, but they show their presence through attacks on government buildings and NATO trucks.
