Peshawar (AINA) -- Terrorists bombed a Catholic girls school on October 7. The Convent Girls' School Sangota, run by the Sri Lankan Apostolic Carmelite Sisters, was completely demolished. An unknown number of militants entered the school late in the evening and ordered the attendants to leave the building, which was later destroyed by the explosion. No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing.

No one was injured in the bombing because the school was closed a few days prior because of threats. The school was threatened by the Taliban last year and ordered to shutdown.

In the past two years in Pakistan's restive North West Frontier Province, the Taliban have attacked more than 150 girls schools.
