There are five dead schoolgirls today in NW Pakistan due to a suicide bomb attack by the Taliban that demolished their school. Yep. The macho Taliban, those fighters for allah, can now proudly strut their latest "mission" was successful - perhaps they will produce a video tape with blood all over school backpacks. The attackers suicide car bomb went off next to the girls school and it a convoy going by - there are reports, according to the report from Breitbart, that three Americans aid workers were also killed in the attack. From the article:
It's hard to tell from the article if the American aid workers were actually the target but it does seem possible, especially to see that many killed at one time.
Ten people, including five female students, were killed in an explosion near a girls' school in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, media reports quoting local administration officials said.I've pointed it out here ad nauseum that the Taliban are pushing the envelope with the tribesman of NW Pakistan with these kinds of attacks that kill children, women and the elderly - the same tactics that led al Qaeda in Iraq to their downfall. We've seen al Qaeda in Pakistan go so far as to try and blame these types of attacks on the CIA or foreign governments because they know that these ruthless attacks will eventually backfire.
Reports from the area said three American nationals associated with the U.S. aid agency USAID were among those killed. Contrary to early reports, police officials said the blast was carried out by a suicide bomber, not by an improvised explosive device.
"It was a suicide bomber who rammed an explosive-filled car with the security convoy," an Express TV reporter quoted area station police chief Ghulam Mohammad as saying.

ISLAMABAD, Feb. 3 (AP) - (Kyodo)—(EDS: UPDATING DEATH TOLL, OTHER DETAILS)
Ten people, including five female students, were killed in an explosion near a girls' school in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, media reports quoting local administration officials said.
Reports from the area said three American nationals associated with the U.S. aid agency USAID were among those killed. Contrary to early reports, police officials said the blast was carried out by a suicide bomber, not by an improvised explosive device.
"It was a suicide bomber who rammed an explosive-filled car with the security convoy," an Express TV reporter quoted area station police chief Ghulam Mohammad as saying.
The blast occurred in the vicinity of a girls' school in the Shahi Kot area of Lower Dir. The school and several houses collapsed after the blast.
Dir is part of Malakand and Swat where the Pakistan Army carried out an operation against militants last year.
Among the injured were some foreign journalists who had traveled to the area for the inauguration of a newly built school.

What kind of god would not only condone, but also reward a man in the hereafter, for murdering little school girls? I don't know who or what these people worship, but it certainly is not an entity that reigns in any kind of heaven. What is the Arabic word for satan?
