Pakistan Interior Minister: Taliban Have Destroyed 473 Schools

Feeling the love of Islamism: Children wade through the ruins of their Swat Valley school, blown up by the Taliban in January
ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Taliban have torched 473 educational institutions in Malakand division and FATA [Federally-Administered Tribal Areas].
In a statement, interior minister said that Taliban want to destabilize and defame Pakistan. They torched 409 educational institutions in Malakand division and 64 in FATA.
Malik said Taliban are enemies of Islam and Pakistan and professional killers. Militancy and terrorism will be eliminated from the roots, he added.
