Catholic Girls' School Bombed in Pakistan| Christianpost.com

A Catholic-run girls' school in North-West Frontier Province was bombed Tuesday by Pakistani Taliban.

The Convent Girls' School was bombed by local Taliban and the school building was destroyed, according to the Catholic Church's National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP).

No one was killed or hurt because the school, run by Sri Lankan Apostolic Carmelite Sisters, was closed at the time due to threats. The sisters had also vacated the convent.

"We have very grave and deep concerns about the current instability and violence in Pakistan," said Alexa Papadouris, advocacy director at U.K.-based Christian Solidarity Worldwide, in a statement Wednesday. "We wish to offer our sincere condolences to the victims of terrorism."

In the past two years, more than 150 girls' schools have been attacked in the North-West Frontier Province by Pakistani Taliban, the NCJP claims.
