Taliban Attack on School Kills Two
Men on a motorcycle have opened fire on students leaving school in volatile southern
Afghanistan, killing a pupil and a janitor, a provincial official said.
The attack in Lashkargah, capital of insurgency-hit Helmand province, comes two days after a schoolteacher was shot dead in the province in what President Hamid Karzai condemned as an act of terrorism.
No one claimed responsibility for either attack.
Helmand deputy provincial governor Moheedin Khan said after Saturday’s shooting: “We don’t know who carried out the attack but definitely they’re the enemies of Afghanistan.”
Afghan officials use the term to refer to insurgents, including those from the ultra-conservative Taliban movement toppled in a US-led invasion in late 2001.
