Waarom heeft de Taliban het gemunt op schoolkinderen?
Waarom heeft de Taliban het gemunt op schoolkinderen? Omdat ze een hekel hebben aan onderwijs, natuurlijk. Het zijn bloeddorstige motherfuckers, zo simpel is dat.
Journaliste Beenish Ahmed onthult echter dat er iets meer achter steekt:
The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) immediately took responsibility for the attack. The militant group has attacked schools for years claiming that they promote a secular, and in their eyes, anti-Islamic agenda. This time, however, the reason for this assault was notably different. A TTP spokesperson said that it targeted students in retaliation for the civilian causalities of a Pakistani military for an operation to root them out of the semi-autonomous territory just north of Peshawar.
TTP commander Jihad Yar Wazir told the Daily Beast, “The parents of the army school are army soldiers and they are behind the massive killing of our kids and indiscriminate bombing in [the TTP strongholds of] North and South Waziristan.”
“To hurt them at their safe haven and homes—such an attack is perfect revenge,” he added.
