school girls
A local Taleban commander ordered parents to stop sending their daughters to school by 15 January.
In comments broadcast on an illegal radio station, he threatened to blow up schools which enrolled female students.
This year alone, Taleban militants have destroyed more than 130 schools in the Swat valley. They want to bring in Islamic sharia law in the region.
Militant attacks on schools in the region have deprived more than 17,000 students of education.
Although schools for girls have come under attack on numerous occasions in the past, this is the first time Taleban militants have issued a complete ban on girls attending them, the BBC's Ethirajan Anbarasan says.
A Taleban spokesman said the prohibition would remain in place unless and until Islamic sharia law was fully implemented in the region.
State-run schools are seen by the insurgents as key symbols of the government.
Now the militants have threatened to destroy private schools as well.
These schools are not Islamic religious institutions and the students are taught courses based on the government syllabus.
Locals say the ongoing attacks on schools have dealt a severe blow to education of girls and young pakistani women in the Swat valley.
Those who can afford it have already moved out of the region, but the poor have no other option than keeping their daughters at home, our correspondent says.
Hundreds of people have been killed since then in battles between security forces and militants led by Maulana Fazlullah, a cleric with links to the Pakistan Taleban movement.
Such thing Local Taliban. Taliban in Swat vally right now are from (Uzbek, Tajikistan, Chechnya, Bosnia and Afghanistan).
its more then 250 schools destroyed.
and they Taliban have sent a warning letter to all the schools to stop educating females and thats 8MONTH old news on which ministry of education have turned their ears deaf.
Sharia law was declared in Swat and the agency around it 15years ago. So right now its not about imposing Sharia law. they just want to ban females from going to school and colleges.
Think this is the Motto. They must have smoked too much pot and tripped on Floyd all the time when they finally became insane and decided to get serious about it.
Insanity is not the word to describe what they have done and achieved all this time. This it is total brainlessness or anger and nothing but anger. Intolerable anger to quench thirst for innocent blood? to instill fear of a Religion, which they have no idea about, in the mind of poor people who are trying in vain to survive. By causing massive destruction and to cover it up under the illusion of a law. The only solution to this problem is these morons should be wiped out from the face of this planet and uprooted like weeds and burnt.
GOD help the poor people of Afghanistan and help them fight these DEVILS.
