Shutting Down The Madrassahs, Musharraf Style
via BBC:
Security forces in Pakistan have demolished an Islamic seminary in the country's north-western tribal region, close to the Afghan border. The privately-run Khalifa Islami Madrassa in North Waziristan is alleged to have links with fugitive Taleban leader, Jalaluddin Haqqani.
The Associated Press news agency reports that soldiers removed books from the school before placing dynamite inside and blowing it up.
Apparently, this will not incite any protest from these folks. Also see this Associated Press photo.
