Veil threat to girls school in Mardan

MARDAN: A school for girls in Mardan has been warned that its building will be bombed if teachers and students do not start wearing veils and burkas. According to a private TV channel’s report, the principal of Mardan Government High School received a letter from an unidentified man, who had written that the school would be bombed within seven days if students and teachers did not start wearing veils. The school administration told the area’s ADI and DCO about this, following which security personnel in uniform and plainclothes were deployed around girls’ schools. It is believed that the letters are being sent by associates of Al Qaeda leader Abu Farah, who was arrested from the same area. Similar letters were also sent to some schools in Peshawar, and as a result, two schools were closed down and security for others was increased. online
