Afghanistan Girl School Destroyed

On monday night, an Afghanistan girl school was burned down to the ground and about 850 Quran books were torched as well. There were no reported injuries or death, but it was reported that the groundskeeper was tied up during the act but then was freed. It is not the first time that a school has been attacked or Muslim holy books have been set ablazed. Taliban militants have done so before, however this time, it seemed more like a failed robery than a terrorist attack. It is estimated that about 2 million girls attend schools in Afghanistan and there has been many controversial occurences aimed towards these young girls and also teachers that have happened in the past few years, such as poinsoning. In 2008, there has been a total of "670 education-related attacks, including murder and arson."
